Hi Jomacamp,
Agree with what the others said above – you are already a writer. You write, you enjoy writing, you share your writing with the world.
However – it doesn’t sound like that’s your dream? It sounds like your dream may be to become a published writer? To make a name for yourself? To make a living for yourself from your writing?
First step – I think it might help you to get clear on what your dream is? What do you want to accomplish as a person and as a writer?
Second step – What are the steps you need to take to accomplish your dream? A high level list will do for a start – your list might be something like 1) Understand the publishing process 2) Pitch to a publisher 3) Publish book
And then drill down into each of your steps in the list – How to understand the process? Maybe subscribe to blogs that teach about writing a book? Maybe read a book to get more information about the process? Ask friends if they have any contacts in the publishing world?
As you go through your list, your list will grow longer, but you’ll gain clarity, and a sense of direction of where to go next.
I’ve never written or published a book, so I’m just talking about getting clarity in general. I hope this helps to get going on your dream?
Good Luck!!
