Taking baby steps toward publication

Writing a book! Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Long hours hunched over a keyboard, pouring your blood, sweat, and tears onto the computer screen -- or if you are like me, hours spent with a notebook and favorite pen in hand writing and scratching out ideas.

A book is a dauting task, it's probably not as hard as, say, scaling Mount Everest, but it's pretty close. My suggestion, why not blog about it?

Granted, you don't want to give away the farm when it comes to blogging about your book but you could post bits and pieces of it-- play around with concepts. Blogging is a baby step that could help you 1) get into the habit of writing, 2) get your words out to readers and possibly gain you some feedback a) another bonus to that is to build a buzz about your work, 3) you would build momentum in your writing.

I guarantee that after 21 days, your writing would become habit and hopefully you would be teasing yourself enough with the daily writing habit that the idea of sitting down to write Chapter 1 wouldn't seem so difficult a task.
