Focused. Driven. Creative. Got a message but need guidance on how to harness thoughts and channel words to paper.
Sound like you?
If you have a story idea in mind, whether it be fact or fiction, but you have little time to sit down and get those words recorded, this book is for you.
With a long list of series and standalone novels, plus a couple of memoirs, but a full-time job, a family and a house to contend with, I’ve found ways to beat the clock, to grasp all that creative energy and put it on paper, and this book shares all my secrets in that department.
Topics included:
Basic Formatting (things you need to know before you start writing to save you time and frustration)
Tools
Creating a Reference Document
Hooking
Review and Writer’s Block
Tense and POV
Writing Techniques
What Do You Do When Your Book is Done?

This book will not show you how to get rich quick by writing, nor will it show you how to write a book in ten minutes. FYI, there is NO get rich quick in writing, unless you’re a celebrity, know important people in the world, or you’re one in a zillion writers who have overnight success. With a writing background that began in 2010 and still working a full-time job, I can attest that the literary world is not a goldmine, otherwise everyone would be doing it and sticking to it.
‘How to Write a Book in Ten Minutes a Day’ is for those who love to write, want to see their book published, but need guidance on how to get that pen to paper on a daily basis, even if they only have ten minutes a day to do it in.
There are no gimmicks in here, no fluff, just quick, easy, concise actions a writer can take to get that book done!
