Has anyone ever tried to write a book?

I really would love to write a book about how I became paranoid because of a medication I was on. Im not that good of a writer. Are there any apps or websites that can actually help you start writing. I would love to hear of any. Has anybody here ever wrote a book about what they are going through.

I have not personally but I have a friend who has just recently released his second book about his experiences having bipolar 1. His name is Mark T Green and he's on amazon. Maybe check that out and see if it helps you find a direction. Hope this helps!

Yes,I have.I love to write cause have a great imagination.I can do whatever I wanna in my head.If I haf a decent english(I'm brazilian),I'd definetely write many different stories that no one's evet seen and publish them all.Become famous and millionaire.Yeah I think I'm that good.But that's a dream I leave behind.You just reminded me that I need to start writing again.Thank you!

Ps:Apps are bad.Don't use them.Use your imagination.Think of how you wish your life was and how happy you'd be if all your dream came true.Write a story about it or create your own stuff.

It's easier watching movies,reading books to get inspiration.Good luck! =]

And the only reason why I refuse to write in Portuguese is because I hate my origin.

I've written several novels, and I have an acquaintance who's in the process of publishing her second book on recovering from agoraphobia. Unless you're an expert with degrees and a super résumé, most self-help or recovery books are self-published or print-on-demand.

I absolutely agree about not using apps or writing software. What helped me the most when I started was having another writer with whom I could talk & critique each other's work.

I also found a local writers group with many published writers in it, and that was great support. I even had one member recommend me to his agent. Libraries and colleges often have or know of writers clubs.

I have. I'm not published. I would love to be, but I'm terrified of rejection. Maybe one day. I have not written books specially about *my* experience with mental illness, but the metaphors are quite clear. The one I am working on currently is, essentially, a big, giant, metaphor for depression. The first book I actually finished was written when I was falling into my first depressive episode, and reading it now, I can see where it was heavily influenced by that.

I love the idea of critique. I used to have a writer with whom I did the same thing. I isolated myself so lost her, but I still have my online friend critique and my mom. They're the only ones who are 100% honest (yes, my mom will tell me if something is badly written she's not the sugar coating type mother lol). I don't like the idea of apps. And don't bother with those tip books. Every writer has to find their own style. Sometimes, this involves borrowing from others. But 'rule books' for writing are just ridiculous. I bought one once that said not to ever use anything other than asked and said (no exclaimed, no cried out, nothing). Sounds nice in theory. Usually flows better. But sometimes that "he cried", also, helps it flow just the same. Just do what feels right to you. (I realize that's a tip, so kind of contradictory... )

Also, don't stress about where you start. Sometimes, I start at the beginning. Sometimes, the middle comes first. Other times, the end. Those rules about where to start you learn in school... I always throw them out the window. I write as it comes to me.

If anyone would love to help , i have a great story to tell. Its I wanna show my mother that I can accoplish this. I would love to present her with a book about the stuggles it has on our relationship. She would be so proud. Im not that good of a writer, does anyone know a ghost writer or how that process works. My story is very interesting, trust me. Please help this would be so good for me too do.

I write short stories.

I recommend just sitting down and starting to write. A novel is a tall order, and writing is one of those interests that gives back what you put into it. Worrying about how good it is (especially when it's a gift) before you have any content to think about changing is just going to keep you at the starting line forever.

Worst case scenario, there are a few chapters you don't want to keep and a few scenes that need to be earlier or later. I don't think anyone's first story on their first try has been stunning.

Some things that might help are to pick out a good word processor if you don't already have one and to write a quick outline. Word is a good default, and I sometimes use Jarte because it's minimal and never, ever disrupts me or my settings for any reason. I don't usually write more than a couple paragraphs on the structure, key points, and surprises I have in mind and stay open to last-minute ideas.

Be my ghostwriter lol

I've written books but always fantasy, not what I'm going through (sometimes my characters have depression etc. though). Something that helps motivate me is nanowrimo, which is national november writing month. It's pretty far from November though, so, maybe not so helpful. If you start a blog and decide you want to write x words per week, that can keep you honest as well.
Oh, also, I always get focused on the right starting sentence and then never start. Remember, it won't be perfect at first. You just have to keep going.
Good luck.

Hi there! I'm 16 and not really a professional writer ^_^""". Here's a website where you can type and publish any story, poem, etc. you want: wattpad.com . It's free and easy to manage! There are other websites, too, but I strongly recommend this one if you just feel like brain-dumping ideas and writing random books! I have an account on Wattpad: Jedi_K! I published anime one-shots, two short stories, one weird dream I had, and this fantasy mermaid story that's ongoing

I have written three books, one is currently published.

Honestly, the best tip I have ever been given was from a teacher in the 11th grade who said "If you want to write something, just write it. Don't look back and fix anything, that's what editing is for."

I used to get so caught up in my own writing and worrying about continuity (one of my books is me essentially sharing the loss of my brother, and you can mess up your own time line oh god can you) that I would just cease writing all together due to frustration. Once I pushed that out of my head and did marathon writing, I actually got the story out. And it made editing a hell of a lot easier.

I think one website that is fantastic at getting people to start writing is National Novel Writing Month. In November is the main month, where you essentially write a novel in one month. They also do "camps" through out the year where you write novels/short stories/dissertations/anything. It is an extremely helpful website because not only do you have incentive to reach your writing goals (you have to hit or go above a certain word count a day), you have access to forums with a plethora of information and facts that you can ask from others, writing tips from authors, etc.

Good luck!
