Whenever I go out, strangers offer unsolicited compliments about some aspect of my appearance, usually my hair or clothing. From this fact alone, I might decide that people like my style. Perhaps I should write a book!
But aside from the fact I have no desire to write a style book, there are other reasons why starting this project doesn’t make sense for me:
- I’m not well known outside of a few small circles.
- I’m not sought after for photographs by the media.
- I’m not a fashion model.
- I have no special training or knowledge in fashion.
- I have no influential friends in the fashion or beauty industries.
- My style won’t work for everyone.
- I don’t blog about style.
- I don’t have any social-media outlets dedicated to being stylish.
For me, simply enjoying this part of my life is enough. If I decide to write nonfiction in the future, perhaps I’ll tackle another Bible trivia book!
Next week we’ll talk about authors seeking to be successful in nonfiction publishing.
Your turn:
What part of your life could you write a book about?
Do you have an interesting hobby that you might write a book about?
