I spent almost an hour at the Writer’s Reference section at Barnes & Noble today. Flipped through many books to find the right one. I couldn’t. Is the book that would help me get past my writer’s block the right one for me? Is it the one that shares experiences from established writers along with their tricks and techniques? Fiction or non-fiction? Should I follow Stephen King’s footsteps? What should I do? Where do I start? What is it that I want?
I want to write a book and get it published someday (soon?). I want to be known as an author, maybe even retire as one. Not sure what i would write about though. Leadership? Management? Fiction? It’s too early to decide.
What about skills? How do I learn the skills? Are skills important? Do first time authors work on developing their skills first?
Reading is a skill writers must have and I am weak at that. Maybe that’s where I will begin. Depth of knowledge, as it was pointed out to me recently, is important or maybe even missing.
I guess I will start there then.
