Can you encourage me?

I'm a house wife with high school education. Mostly I clean and cook and do wife things. But I want more out of life, is it possible someone with my level of education writing a best seller book? I often imagine writing a book. I always wanted to be a writer.

Anyone can write but most traditional publishing houses only put their money into established authors. You may want to look into self publishing. If you want to change your life why not take some classes online while you are writing that book?

@Fungirlmmm that's a good idea.

@SaintAdelaide I started writing seriously as a blogger. I have posted some short stories here if you want to look. Pm me if you want to chat.

It's absolutely possible to write a book. The best seller part is just a matter of persistence.

To get you started, look into Amazon self publishing service. I hear stories on a regular basis of people getting into people being best sellers in their amazon category. It's easy actually, in some niches.

If you're talking about a New York Times best seller? That's going to be more difficult, but again, you can self-publish to get yourself started. Hope this helped somewhat.

Keep writing!

You need an imagination to write a book and a grasp of language to articulate your thoughts.
But write something out and you never know what you can achieve.

There is no reason that you can not. Start small find your rhythm and go for it you have nothing to lose
You can do it.
Just have a dictionary and thesaurus handy.

It absolutely is. Education has very little to do with writing, and as often obscures talent as enhances it.
Follow whatever you enjoy. If what you enjoy is writing, that's great.
You can certainly write a book. It will take a lot of effort and may take a while. But you totally can. There are many resources available for getting started. As for publishing, you will probably have to self publish your first book. But who knows...

Well with the advent od the internet,that dream may be yours...just start a blog on reddit or something, Facebook,twitter... If you are popular enough the publishers will find you

Don't start with the idea of a best selling book, start with the idea of writing a book you want to write. Just publishing an e-book is exciting... then when someone buys it... wow.

Do it!
Write what you know!
Have others read it when you're 100 to 200 pages in.
Join a writers group! Check with the local library, there's many! They will help!
Nothing venture nothing gain remember you only have one life and wouldn't be a pity you sit with your thoughts not sharing with others!

Lots of people with little "formal" education have gone on to become authors. But a "creative writing" evening class could be helpful and fun!

She could have some useful information for you and would probably be keen to share her experiences. It could be a good idea to meet up and pick her brains. You don't have to be friends for ever.@SaintAdelaide

@Fluffybull your right 😊 I guess I didn't want to feel inadequate at first but it's good to make connections.

There is no reason for you to not write a book. If that is what you want to do then go for it. ;)

Sure, why not?
Nowadays you even can publish your own book!
