How to Establish Your Propensity for Becoming a Successful Creative Writer

Ask yourself these questions and spend a few minutes in quiet reflection before you provide the answers.

Do you like to read, be it fiction or non-fiction?
Do you enjoy writing letters, reports, or whatever?
Do you have a better than average vocabulary?
Do you strive at every opportunity to enhance your personal word power?
Do you persist with crosswords until you've solved all the clues?
Do you have an enquiring mind?
Do you have special interests?
Do you have expertise in any particular subject(s)?
Would you undertake research to confirm and expand on what you think you know?
Would you be prepared to share this knowledge with others?
Would you be willing to make time to write about it for pleasure and profit?
Are you comfortable about committing your private thoughts to paper?
Are you self-disciplined?
Are you relaxed about working on your own?

If you can genuinely answer 'yes' to all of these questions, you already have the nucleus of a powerful propensity for creating niche non-fiction in the shape of self-help and how-to guides. The chapters that follow will provide you with the attributes for professional execution.

If on the other hand you answered 'yes' to most and 'no' to a few, then work on those negative areas.

If you answered 'no' to Question 8, then think again and dig deeply this time. Most people have expert knowledge on something or other. It could be a job, a hobby, or any of a thousand disparate topics. And should you consider that what you know would be of little value to anyone else, you would be wrong. Many people share a passion for your particular area of interest and are anxious to become even better informed.
