We all communicate in different ways some of us are good at talking and easy communicators. Others pass their messages through writing and while the two are important there are other ways of communication which is through use of graphs, pictures or even art. All of these communication strategies convey different messages and different people receive it differently. Some people might understand written words clearly, others struggle. There are some people who understand graphics and arts very easily while others cannot relate at all.
Writing is an art by itself, it is also a talent since there many people who would like to be authors but cannot write. The journey of writing start from putting down one word, then another and finally a sentence is constructed. The persistence in writing continue to make the writer grow while they develop paragraphs and eventually a book is produced.
While it takes time to write in some people, others find it easy to turn their writing into a book. It takes a lot of time, motivation, dedication and sitting down long hours constructing sentences, paragraphs, making them into a book. However, hard this might sound or seem to be the work is rewarded by a published book but the journey is not yet finished as authors, writers and artist like to share their pride with families, friends and the world in their accomplishment of their hard-earned work.
As a first-time author, I can relate to the feeling of pride in achieving my objective. Finally, I turned those written manuscript into a book. What a feeling when I received my written work in form of a book, it was like graduating with my first degree, the excitement was overwhelming and I treat that book like my baby. My next step in this achievement is marketing. This is another story for another day but meanwhile, I celebrate my first step in being an author.
Are you a writer or dreaming to be one? Start with one step and dedicate some time every day in writing few words to start that novel or book.
