If you have any aspirations to be an author, then getting your inspiration an writing your first book is only down to motivation and some get up and go.

To plan the book you’re going to write, you must consider your purpose. What will be the best way to accomplish that purpose? You may need to do some serious research before you write a book. Research may include reading other published books, searching through magazine and newspaper archives, studying primary sources, and possibly contacting and interviewing experts. If your book is a personal memoir or work of fiction, you can write the book without too much research. But you must still consider how you can write a book which best communicates the ideas and has the effects you’re hoping to have. A funny memoir should highlight the humor in your experiences; a tragic personal narrative should linger more on the difficult and trying times you’ve been through.

As for any education that might be needed in your quest to write a book, then the internet can be of great help to you. There are literally hundreds of educational sites that can provide you with an online homeschooling education in writing among other subjects.
