Writing a book can be a thrilling experience, and I'd be happy to help you get started.

To begin, let's break down the process into manageable chunks:

1. *Define your book's genre*: What type of book do you want to write? Fiction, non-fiction, self-help, fantasy, romance, or something else?
2. *Develop your idea*: What's the central theme, plot, or message of your book? Jot down your thoughts, and we can help you expand on them.
3. *Create a rough outline*: Organize your ideas into a basic structure, including chapters, sections, or key events.
4. *Set writing goals and deadlines*: Establish a writing schedule to help you stay on track.

Share your ideas, and I'll assist you with:

- Brainstorming and refining your concept
- Developing a more detailed outline
- Offering writing tips and advice
- Providing guidance on character development, plot structure, and pacing (for fiction writers)

Let's get started! What's your book's genre, and what's the central idea you want to explore?

The most heard advice for writers is "show don't tell". The question the is HOW?

HOW TO SHUT DOWN THE CREATIVE SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN

This is one fast way to lose your creative prowess as a writer.

It may look harmless or smart, but it would shut down the creative part of your brain before you realize it.

It is the act of plagiarism.

Plagiarizing people's content would rob you of your creativity and put you in trouble too.

Plagiarism is lifting or copying someone else's content without their consent, and presenting it to others as your own.

Another name for plagiarism, is 'Stealing'.

If you must repost a person's work, give the person his or her due credits.

Plagiarism makes you lazy to create your own content.

Creating authentic, original content, engages your brain and pushes you to do more.

If you must stay creative as a writer, avoid plagiarism; the killer of creativity.

Chapter 1: The Gift of the Runes
The arrival of the angels was not with thunder or fire, but with a soft, golden light that bathed the land. They came bearing gifts—magical markings etched into stone, bone, and wood. These were the runes, symbols of power and wisdom, each one imbued with the essence of creation itself.

The runes were not mere tools; they were a language, a connection between the mortal and the divine. With them, humanity could shape the world around them. They could call forth water from dry earth, summon winds to fill their sails, and heal wounds with a touch. The runes were a blessing, a way for the angels to share their love and guidance with the people they cherished.

For generations, the runes were passed down through bloodlines, from parent to child, a sacred inheritance. Those who bore the runes were revered as guardians, healers, and leaders. They used their gifts to build thriving communities, to nurture the land, and to protect their people from harm.

But not all was as it seemed.

The Rise and Fall of Runes: A Tale of Angels, Demons, and War

Prologue: The Age of Beginnings.

Long before the rise of kingdoms, before the first cities were carved into stone, there was an age when the world was young and untamed. It was a time when the skies were filled with the songs of angels, and the earth was a canvas waiting to be painted. Our ancestors called it the Age of Beginnings, a time when the divine and the mortal walked side by side.

The angels, beings of pure light and boundless wisdom, gazed upon the world from their celestial realms. They marveled at the beauty of the land, the rivers that flowed like silver threads, and the forests that whispered secrets to the wind. But it was the people—the sons and daughters of men—who captured their hearts. Humble yet curious, fragile yet resilient, humanity was a spark of potential in a vast, untamed world.

And so, the angels descended...

HOW TO FIND YOUR UNIQUE WRITING STYLE

No matter how many of us are doing the same thing, there will be a different imprint and uniqueness about each of us.

As a writer, you need to stand out from the crowd in your writing.

You shouldn't be a duplicate of another person's style from beginning to end.

You need to develop a unique writing style for yourself, and I am going to show you how to do that in this piece.

1. Read Widely: If you're just starting, you'll need to read and learn from others. There are many who have come before you and can serve as guides in discovering your unique style of writing.

2. Implement and Write: After learning, take the initiative to start writing to see what you're capable of creating. No matter how skilled you might be, until you begin, it won't be feasible. Set aside dedicated time to write.

3. Find Your Voice: Let your words resonate with your personality and beliefs. Allow your values to influence what you say, and you'll see a distinction right from the onset.

4. Use Personal Experience: Draw from your life experiences. Sharing your perspectives can help you find your unique style.

5. Develop a Signature Element or Phrase: As you progress in writing, come up with a unique phrase that resonates with you, which becomes recognizable as your signature in your writing.

6. Have Patience: Be prepared to go through the process of refining your style until it is found and sharpened.

I believe that with these points, you have been guided on how to begin discovering your unique writing style.

TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH

If you're struggling to begin your writing journey due to the fear of incorrect vocabulary, then this is for you.

Writing can seem hard for many reasons, and one of those reasons is knowing that your spelling and vocabulary need to be checked.

I have interacted with several people who want to create great content and bless lives with it but don’t want to embarrass themselves while trying to write because of poor vocabulary.

Honestly, to be good at something, you must first take the step to start.

Until you begin, there is no way to improve in this.

To help with your vocabulary, I recommend getting a dictionary and becoming familiar with it.

Also, a free way to also help yourself is to stay tuned to opportunities where how to get better in English language are being taught.

There was a time I was following someone on this space. That person has this particular day of the week where she teaches how to be proficient in English language as a writer and common mistakes to avoid.

You won’t understand the meanings of words or the differences between similar-looking homophones until you look them up in the dictionary.

You need to brace yourself and stop being lazy about checking if the grammar you think is correct actually is.

Additionally, be more intentional about speaking only correct English. I know you're not so good, but start being intentional about speaking right. If you permit and overlook mistakes, they will greatly delay your proficiency.

Beyond speaking well, please start typing correctly in your DMs; it will greatly help you, believe me.

Don't be a shorthand writer yet you want to write grammatically accurate content; start from there. Personally, I've divorced shorthand form of writing a long time ago, and there's no going back on it.

I know the help this singular decision has brought to my writing ability, though at first, some will call it pride, but it's not.

Doing something the right way for the better is not pride; you'll discover that they will eventually join you in doing that right thing after a while.
