In the increasingly complicated world of ours, there
is a flood of opinions that it is almost impossible to categorize them. The
uniqueness of opinions, approaches and perspectives of looking at the same
subject or problem are so diverse that it is next to impossible to actually go
through all the information on a particular topic. In the age of internet, it
has become easier than ever to voice opinions and share information and many
people are often confronted with a question: How to write a book?
Writing is an art just like public speaking. There
are people who can virtually hypnotize people with their speeches and overturn
their opinions just the Shakespeare’s character Mark Antony in the play Julius
Caesar. Similarly, there are people who can trigger social and political
upheavals through their writing. It is in fact a truth that pen has proven to
be mightier than sword through the passage of the history of human
civilization.
The best writers are not made by just the command
over a certain topic. Book writing is an art. People with very few original
points and unique perspectives might prove to be more influential than an
expert scholar. The most important trait of a good book writer is his ability
to sit on the readers’ table and grasp their point of view before laying forth
his own. The ability to empathize with the readers is a hallmark of a good
writer.
How to writing a book? The answer to this question begins
with the attitude and approach of the writer.
The content of the answer is the
density and depth of the knowledge of the subject and the secret of the success
of the formula is proper planning and attractive presentation. Let’s just pick
up two possible scenarios:
- Scenario One: Expert Knowledge about the Subject: People who fall in this category have the raw material to cook a tasty dish but if the ingredients are not worked upon well and the spices are not used perfectly, the dish would not taste good. Such people need to find the uniqueness in their approach that would attract the readers as they would find a new perspective on the subject. Secondly, they would require a proper planning and structure keeping in mind the target group of readers, the language and the layout.
- Scenario Two: Limited Knowledge about the Subject but A New approach or Point of View: This category of writers will have to work on the presentation and read further bit on the topic so that they do not misinform the readers.
