What goes into writting books?
So what goes into writting a book, can anyone do it, ive been wanting to do many things for a while but i think sense i was a kid i wanted to write a book or even a short story or something that i can publish. the thing is i have major dylexia, i tend to not plan things and instead write on the spot, also i have partiall ideas. i dont want to write fanfic but instead i want to do something more orginal. i was told i was a creative writter as a kid but im not sure about now.
im not even sure if writting a book is worth it or not i raley even read but yet i feel like something is missing in life. is there by chance a good youtube video that explains all of this?

Anyone can! I've written a book and self published, August will be 10 years. Couple of things
- Write it for yourself, it's a big accomplishment.
- I recommend planning it all out. Stephen King is Stephen King for a reason, not everyone can do it. But you don't have to plan EVERYTHING. You have A and you need to get to D, let B and C be your creativity, it might even change what D originally looked like.
- Write background stories for all your characters. Write EVERYTHING about them. Their favorite show growing up, the foods they hate, their phobias. This helps them be more real and helps with story planning. You'll know whether or not your character will do something based on who they are.
I say, go for it!
What an amazing person you are!! Thank you for the advice
You're very welcome!
