Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 6, 2014
This great How-To book explores Writing Productivity, basically how to get a book written and finished; the ultimate goal is to be writing 5000+ words a day. The book is extremely well set-out, with headings and sub-headings to take you carefully through the analysis/thesis, just what budding (and even more established) authors need. By making proper, efficient use of Organization/Time & Effort/etc., it is stated that within 4 weeks the first draft of a 50,000 word novel can be produced. Wow! Then each budding writer can enter the meritocratic world of e-publishing where everyone has a chance...as long as they can get their book finished. And Rick Smith's book will help do just that. He has some great advice on how to tackle every writer's inherent flaw and drawback, Procrastination. Ultimately, the two main recommendations are that the writer must be organized, even down to the type of chair and posture best suited to the goal of productivity, and has to set out clearly-defined goals. There are loads of useful and detailed pointers in what I would imagine will become every would-be writer's how-to manual. Buy this book, and you'll learn how to write faster and for longer. Every writer's dream.
