Book Writing Tips For Beginners

• Don't Rush It: Take this process slowly and intentionally. Let ideas flow into you, don’t chase it.
  .
• Choose A Plot You Like: Don’t pick a plot based on what’s trending or what you think others love. What you love matters more.

How to Write a For Beginners Book Part 1

STEP#1: Find Your Idea: What story are you burning to tell? Is it romance or fantasy? Do some brainstorming exercises to spark ideas and you can check out my ideas and see how you can be inspired and craft your own.

STEP#2: Find Your Story Trope: Is it Enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers or workplace romance. Choose a trope that you like and see how you can work with it.

STEP#3: Develop Your Plot Concept: What is the main conflict? Who are the characters? A plot concept in writing is the foundational idea that drives the story. It's the core conflict or situation that sets the stage for the entire narrative. 

Example of a Plot Concept: A young girl (main character) discovers that she has possess magical powers (traits) and becomes the target of a powerful warlord (antagonist). ‘Discovers and Becomes’ highlights the flow of the concept

STEP#4: Pick a Sub-Genre: The genre you choose (fantasy, mystery, romance, etc.) will influence the nature of your conflict. A Sub-Genre makes the story setting more interesting. I personally love a good Mystery-Romance book.
