More than 80 per cent of Americans would like to be an author. Apparently, 97 per cent of people who start to write a book never finish it.

People want to write a book for many reasons, but the two main ones are either they have an idea that needs telling or they want to share their story.

Some people start writing a book because they want to tell an idea that has been brewing for years and needs to get out; others are driven by the need to share their story, or in some cases, their secrets. A lot of people start writing books simply because it’s something they always wanted to do but never had time.

How to find your starting place
