Books are an amazing way to communicate your message, your story, or your idea to the world. So, it is natural to assume that the author put plenty of effort into it. Authors spend sleepless days and nights writing the perfect book so that it can be published and reach you. While this long process might be draining most of the time, it is quite a learning experience as well.

So, if you are an author or someone looking to write your own book, forget about the hard work for a moment, and check out all the amazing things you’ll get to learn when you start writing a book.

1. It’s Going To Take Time

It is always great to plan things out when it comes to completing tasks such as writing a book. But realistically, you should be able to also leave a margin for the extra time that it is going to take. Sometimes, you have everything in order, from the outline to the plot. But, while in the middle of writing a book, you suddenly get a new idea which you think is better than the last one. So you scrap everything and start from square one. There will be times when you’ll be stuck on certain sentences or words, not sure whether you should use them or not, so the best thing would be to take it all in and enjoy the journey.

2. Publication Is Also Going To Take A Lot Of Time

If you think that you can finish a book in a year and have it out in bookstores the next, you are greatly mistaken, dear friend. What many people fail to understand is that even if you manage to write a publish-worthy book in a short span of time, it will take many months until you see it in your favorite bookstore. This is because publishing a book takes a lot of time. Some books are written in 2016 but they finally see the light in 2019.

3. You Have The Liberty To Do Whatever You Want

The best part of writing a book is that you get to write about whatever you want. The characters are yours to make, the plot is yours to decide. It’s your story to tell and no one can take that joy away from you.

So, when are you planning to start writing a book?
