5 ways to not write the book you’ve always wanted to write

Writing a book.

In my experience, so many people say they could if they wanted to, or should write one when you talk to them at a BBQ. But should you do it? 

My thinking is, if you're talking about it, you should find a way to start doing it. Or stop lying to yourself that you will one day.

The truth is for most of us, like many things out there, you have no idea what you are doing which is one of the reasons you haven't started. Why should you know the "how to's" and the "ins and outs" of something you've never done before. The only way to make progress is to start and figure it out along the way.

Writing a book took me back to the 3rd grade (or maybe earlier) with that feeling of not having a clue what to do next...But is there any other way?

When was the last time you allowed yourself to be the fool?

There are probably 100s of things, excuses, people, concerns that will stop you from writing that book, but here are 5 to get you started.
