As I go around making presentations and doing book signings, I continually get told people would like to write and I'm asked, what does it take to become a writer?
My first response is everyone can write if they set their mind to it. You might have to take a basic writing course. Or do as I did, take an English composition course at one of your local colleges. It’s fun to be the grandpa of the class.
Second, write about what you love and what you know. What are you passionate about? These areas will set you in the right direction.
After reaching that level, make a commitment to write. Start off with a paragraph a day. You should begin to write at least five days a week. You will find your one paragraph level will increase to two or more. Then maybe even a full page or more.
Just keep at it and ideas will come to you all during the day when you’re not even writing. Jot them down if you feel you will forget them.
