Reading Practice
Instruction: Read the following reading text silently and loudly!
At first, writing a book is an easy job that can be
completed simply by writing from home without requiring more energy and effort
than completing work in the field. But have you ever tried to start writing a
book?
When one is struggling in the world of writing,
everything is not as simple as people think. You will find that writing a book requires
excellent thinking and great motivation. Why? Because in the process of
completing the book, many obstacles will be faced.
When people want to try writing a book, they don't
know how to start. Some have begun writing books but run out of ideas in the
middle of their writing journey. Then, they are confused about how to proceed.
The other may have written, but they have to stop and turn away from the
original plan because of other activities.
Here are some strategies to write a book quickly and efficiently so that your dream of becoming a successful book writer soon becomes a reality.
1. Choose ideas and concepts according to your expertise and passion
Choosing a concept according to your expertise and
passion will flow ideas smoothly. Why? Because this concept is close to our
life. Sharing experiences, work, and hobbies are certainly not difficult for
us.
2. Considering the target audience
Remember that readers can accept not all ideas and
concepts that match our expertise and passion. So, after recognizing our area
of expertise and passion, it is also crucial to pay attention to the target
audience and market conditions before starting to write. Then, choose a topic
that can benefit many people.
3. Prepare an Outline of Book Content
The outline/framework of the book can develop into a
table of contents. So it is crucial to make an overview of the book's main
points that we will compile. This book content plan or outline is essential to
guide us when we are in the process of writing a book. And it also helps when
we are stuck in writing because we can jump to another section to refresh our
minds. But we already have an overview of the contents of the book. So we are
getting more accessible and more focused in the process of writing the book.
4. Complete Book Writing Support Materials
Before starting to write, it's good to do research and
collect materials to support the book's content. Reference materials can be
through the internet, interviewing sources, reading books, discussing, focus group
discussions, and brainstorming. It is done to maintain the quality of our
writing. The data will then be grouped into chapters or tables of contents that
have been compiled to make it easier and more systematic.
5. Put all your thoughts into the script
Combine previously found knowledge, experience, and
external supporting materials to form a piece of writing into a predetermined
concept and idea. Then, free your mind from writing whatever you want to write.
At this stage, avoid over-editing until the concept is complete.
6. Setting a Target Time for Writing a Book with a TimeLine
Setting a target time for writing a book is vital to
maintain consistency, commitment, and passion. In addition, making a timeline
will help us write more directed, measurably, and systematically so that the
writing process is effective and efficient.
7. Keeping drafts of writing on the track
Write according to the outline that has been made.
However, two possibilities can occur in the writing process: our ideas develop
or get stuck. If you are stuck because of something, then we can jump to
another section or chapter that can be done first. While completing the data
and other materials to continue the previous-pending writing.
8. Keep Learning and Practice Often
The more we practice writing books, the more skilled
we will be in solving the obstacles in writing, and the more we will become
experts in writing and making books.
9. Publish Your Books
If your book is ready to be published, look for a Book Publisher willing to work together to publish your books with a mutually beneficial profit/royalty sharing..
