Writing as if my life depended on it.

Well now that we want to write a book more then anything, it is time to get started. 

I will get started by:

1. Writing every morning

I will start writing every morning what ever thoughts come into my mind. This serves two purposes. If you try it you might find that your mind is a lot clearer the rest of the day and it is easier for me to write first thing as I end up busy through out my day. I ride the bus and so I will be using my phone to type in my random thoughts.

2. I purchased Dragon Naturally Speaking

I purchased the software and found that I needed a really good head and microphone set, specifically with  USB. Apparently with the USB it does not need to go through your computer first so it is more effective in interpreting what you are saying.
I have not written more using this software because I have not done it enough to get use to dictating. I will keep trying and will be using word with the software and transfer the writing into a writing software. It seems that paper and pen are still my best friend.

3. I went on Youtube and did a search for writing software.

It seems to me that I can learn much more about software by watching a video of someone actually using it. No one can tell you or me what will work best for us but we can choose what we want by actually watching how it works. Here are two video's that I found to be helpful. The first video was about Scrivener and the second was Find the Best Writing Software Programs .

I'm personally looking for writing software that will enable me to create more then one book at a time, transfer what I write easy from and to other media like word, and easy to organize.

Brainstorming How to Start Writing a Book Made Simple

I started this blog years ago and have not written as much as I imagined. So many movie stars I grew up with have died recently, the latest being Shirley Temple, it is more apparent that I do not have forever and at any time even I could die.

I have no doubt that there are many others that want to write too and would like to shift from one day or I should start to actually writing.

I have spent well over thirty years saying I should write a book. How long have you been saying it?

I now have a realization of how to make it happen which I will share with you now.
When you want and have the desire to write, MORE then anything else, you will. Until then you most likely won't.

I finally want it more then just about anything else, do you? If so I will share my process with it and I welcome you to share what works for you as well in future posts under the Labels, "How To"
