Need Is there a book in you? Maybe … 
Is there a book in you? Over 80% of the population says there is?
Will it be written? Maybe.
Will it be published? Maybe.
Should it? Maybe.
Is that you?
When such a huge percentage thinks … believes … that they should write a book, know that others know you exist … and are open to be preyed upon. Publishing predators are a growing breed.
Don’t be fooled by others … or yourself. If there is a book in you—and bravo from me—then do your research.
You need to move beyond they thinking and just talking about it phase.
Be realistic.
Comprehend and understand that publishing is a business.
Put a plan together.
Start writing.
Hang out with other authors … those who have been and are on The Author’s Walk.
This is not a time to be a fool.
