Homeschool Facts

There are a chosen few of us out there who were chosen to write. Not only do we love writing, we are actually good at it. However, this does not always mean that we are recognized for our skills; in fact it seems that the more talented we are the less likely it is that we are going to get any help with the completion of our books. So we plug away at our day jobs and wait for our big break.

Of course, just finishing the book is not enough. Now you have to proofread it a hundred times to make sure there are no errors or spelling mistakes. Each time you find an error you need to rewrite the page and reprint it, and then proofread it again. This doesn’t sound too promising does it?

If you think you want to write a book, take a good look at your motivation. If you have never enjoyed writing, but think you want to do this, ask yourself why. Even those who have loved writing their whole lives cannot muster what it takes to write a book and finish it. If your heart isn’t in it, it’s never going to get done.

After the best book you ever wrote is completed and edited, you still have to get it published. This task in itself can take many years. Basically you need to print a thousand copies of your book and mail it to every publisher you have ever heard of. They will send you back a lot of rejection slips, but on occasion one intelligent publisher may agree to print it.

For those who really believe in their book, but cannot find a publisher willing to take a chance on it, they have the option of self-publishing. This is a lot of hard work, and there can be a great deal of expense involved. Not only do you have to pay for pressing, you have to handle marketing and distribution yourself. Beware of online sites offering to help you with this, some are scams. Research any company before you sign or agree to anything.
