Writing a book implies significant prior knowledge and experience in a particular area, and is more difficult and complex than writing an article. Make a good plan and preparation, and start writing.

The best way to begin is to start. Do not bother yourself with how you start and whether you'd keep that bit of text you started with. You will rewrite it over and over again anyway, but if your approach is: "Whatever I write ends up in that book!" you will find it difficult to start, since you feel you need to have everything planned ahead. You don't! Just start writing.

Now, how to write? This is far more complex to be answered in a thread like this. You need a basic idea of your topic, knowledge and an idea what matters to the audience. You need to be of the conviction: my topic matters and people should learn about it! If you ain't convinced you will find it difficult to win over an audience.

I suppose it is a scientific book we are talking about? (This is a forum for academics after all.) Start with an abstract, wherein you collect all ideas that you have, where you work on your idea. Answer the following questions:

What is it about?

What has been done on the topic up til now?

What has been missed?

Why does it matter?

How do I intend to approach it?

Basically: write an essay about that book you are planning. that is your start. From there you will keep expanding single aspects, come up with single chapters and sub-chapters and so forth. But its a start!

Writing a book is definitely not an easy task. It requires broad knowledge,vast experience, sheer perseverance, serial reading books, sharp brilliance and of course self confidence and strength to face healthy criticism for betterment. Prepare your mind, focus on material you have for writing, dedication, start from zero, go step by step , collect guidance from those who are really interested in you eg teachers,guides and friends.

I think the book should first be written in organized way in our mind with all the details. Then start writing it with our heart and make it look like a scenario for a movie for easy flow and reading.

To create a book, I think the first thing is to have the clear idea, that is what you want to capture in the writing, and see how it will be done, taking into account for the public that is directed

Before starting write book decide which is your favourite subject and aquire best knowledge and start writing book.

Writing a book requires a good knowledge about the subject of book, good organization with co-authors and preparation of solved examples.

Determine your goal.

Define your topic

Create an outline.

Just be cowriter to learn before write

You first need to answer the question "Why do you need to write a new book and the targeted audience?". If you believe you truly have something new to offer, then start by putting a draft outline for the content. Write about 25% to 30% of the book and share it with an acquisition editor from a reputable publisher for their review and approval. Should they express interest in your work, you sign an agreement to work on the remaining chapters. Typically, you are provided with a grant and once the work is completed and approved for publication, you will begin receiving royalties. I have co-authored 11 books in the USA and this is the process we followed. Good luck.

Writing a complete book is a far more tough job than writing a few papers.

As a thumb rule, it can be said that after writing 5-10 research papers on related topics, a researcher may try to write a review article on the topic.

After wring 3-5 review articles on related topics, a researcher may try to write a book on the topic.

Thanks.

patiently and very focused on the main theme

First, let’s look at the big picture. What does it take to write a book? It happens in three phases:

Beginning: You have to start writing. This sounds obvious, but it may be the most overlooked step in the process. You write a book by deciding first what you’re going to write and how you’re going to write it.

Staying motivated: Once you start writing, you will face self-doubt and overwhelm and a hundred other adversaries. Planning ahead for those obstacles ensures you won’t quit when they come.

Finishing: Nobody cares about the book that you almost wrote. We want to read the one you actually finished, which means no matter what, the thing that makes you a writer is your ability not to start a project, but to complete one.

Try to define a title - give a working title! I have experience working on a PC. For example, I SHOULD LEARN FROM THE CORRECTION OF THE BOOK for a book, here I put my imagination at will. Dam frame, so I work out details, define chapters, consult many other authors - literature and I try to be completely different - a recognizable style is important .... Then follows "ironing", corrections, corrections, corrections. And it's important to know when to stop. Finally, give the first version to colleagues from the same area to read and give their opinions. Do not be cute :)
