Why Write A Book? How To Overcome Your Greatest Book Writing Problem

A lot of people think about writing a book someday. Some people sit down and start doing it. A few people actually finish their books.

It seems that some people can write books just about as easily as they can write out grocery lists. They sit down and do it. No problem. These are the prolific writers who write and publish book after book.

At the same time, other people who want to write a book run into obstacle after obstacle.

You might be one of them. You agonize over writing your book. You experience a wide range of writing problems. You can't figure out how to organize a mountain of notes into anything resembling a coherent book structure. You get confused. You lose interest. You get demoralized. You might even experience that old bugaboo called writer's block.

You can find all kinds of writing advice about writing books. Most of it is very helpful, full of wise insights about how to write a book and solve many book writing problems.

However, sometimes the most helpful information comes under the category of unasked questions. These unasked questions are often the very questions that would identify the book writing problems that keep you from writing and publishing your book.

In my earlier years, I started several books but didn't finish them. Those unfinished book projects are stashed away in filing cabinets and on hard drives. Why didn't I finish them?

I had an abundance of ideas and the capacity to produce a copious amount of words.

However, abundant ideas and copious words are not enough to create a clear, coherent, and marketable book.

All the while, I was reading books about writing. The more books I read, the more confused I got.

With all of that effort, and despite reading shelf-loads of writing books, I didn't finish any of the books I was attempting to write in those days.

Hindsight is a bittersweet ability. I now know why I couldn't finish the projects I started. I also know why I got so stuck and confused. I also know why all of the writing books I read weren't enough to help me write and finish my book projects.

They told me what to do, but they didn't help me ask the right questions. Or if they did, I missed the questions in the mountains of how-tos.

These frequently unasked questions about writing a book can make all of the difference between a started book and a completed book.

If you are stuck in your writing, you probably don't need more information and more answers. You probably need to ask better questions. Then you'll figure out your own answers.

If you can be clear about these simple questions, you will cut through all sorts of confusion and overwhelm to concentrate on writing a compelling book that does what you intend it to do.

The most important question frequently unasked question is this: Why write a book? It might seem like an obvious question, but it is worth your time to seriously consider this basic question: Why do you want to write your book?
