How To Write a Book in 2 Weeks

Why should you write your book so fast? There are several good reasons, first, let’s be frank, shall we? How much does it really matter that your book took 5 years to write, honestly, who cares? Stephen King churns ‘em out monthly and we still can’t get enough. You ‘re certainly welcome to tell people that it took you a year, or even two, to write your masterpiece, but if your book sucks, that erroneous information won't compel anybody to keep reading it.

Furthermore, if you don’t write it fast, chances are very good that you won’t write it all. In this Age of Information, someone like you gets hundreds of ideas a day and its getting harder and harder to pen things down, focus and go the long haul.

Not to mention, at the end of the day, some are just “Talkers” while others are” Do-ers”. If you call yourself a Writer then by all means be a “Doer-Writer”. It is infinitely more satisfying to have people at parties comment on you published BOOK than to hear you drone on and on, again and again about the Book you are continually working on. You know what I’m talking about. Only published authors command this coveted indulgence.


How to Write a Book in 2 weeks Continued...PART2

I am sorry to have to burst your romantic bubble; but the fact is that Creativity does not have to be painful and drawn out. It can be lightening quick, engaging and compelling, too. Truly prolific authors (and eHow authorities) know this. Productivity is creativity in motion.

Now with that said, there are many long ways to get the book with your name on it in hand and there is only one short way. The long ways involve the stress and heartache of trying to figure out what to write about while waiting for that illusive muse to bring it on, then writing a series of lengthy book proposals to swamped publishing companies and sitting back to wait for that long line of rejection letters to pour in (because you’re an unknown writer) and worst of all, if you don’t become completely demoralized and lose interest , you may take years to finish the original manuscript, if you will finish it at all.

This article is all about the short way to write and publish your book. It's about the straight line between two points. If you know anything about your subject matter, it should take you a couple of weeks to write your book, in your spare time. I did it and you can too. Afterall, many great books were written on airplanes for that matter.


How To Write a Book in 2 Week...Part 3

I have said it before and I will say it again. You have got to make an Outline. No. You may not skip this step; the whole thing will not work without it. There are many great online articles on how to do this. In the interest of time, remember you must write it fast, I suggest you read my eHow article on How to Write a Book outline in Just a Few Minutes mentioned in the Resources section of this article.

Once you have the outline in place, start writing. If you did your outline well, the writing part will be fun and easy, just like a game of Connect the Dots. Just write quickly and fill in all the spaces listed in your outline. Becoming adept at a technique of free writing, without thinking (seriously), will allow you to right as much as a page in 5 minutes. This way you can have 200 pages done in 40 hours! That’s 4 weeks of writing just 10 hours per week, 2 hours per day, with weekends off! This way, when you write, your mind and the subject matter is always fresh and you don’t become frustrated or overwhelmed., which would put your entire project in jepardy.

Don’t bother editing it until you’ve written the WHOLE thing!! Most online publishers will do that for you for free, anyway. When you are done, just give it a quick read-through-edit and spell check. If you persist in doing these cosmetic-touch-ups while writing , 9 times out of 10 your book will never be finished.

Now back to the romantic stuff: contact an online Self-Publishing Company and go to press! As soon as this part is taken care of, you can start organizing your book tour of local bookstores and radio station and get back to plugging your book with friends at parties. It is not uncommon for conventional Book Publishing Companies to want to “pick up” a book that has moderate sales success at local booksellers and Amazon! If you know you've got what it takes go for the self-publishing. No one will know the difference and you can have the chance to prove your mettle through online sales and reviews.

* Do not write and edit. If you do, you’ll never be done.
* Ask yourself this question: If you choose to ignore this advice, will your book be done any time soon?
* I went from earning $25,000 annually to over $300,000!! (yep, that comma is in the correct place) within 18 months of writing my Best Selling Real Estate Book. I wrote it in just 2 weeks and had the first printed copy in hand 3 weeks later. No joke. I did it and so can you.
