Writing a book is no easy task. Nevertheless, every day another book is published. In 1996, according to Books in Print , 1.3 million book titles were in print. The number of books published in 1996 alone was 140,000 in the United States. I don't think anybody ever became a writer by going to a workshop, reading a book, or even reading this article.
Writing comes from something internal in a writer.
However, this article will save you time, point you in the right direction, and help you write a novel in 100 days or less. I've done it myself several times. It is not easy to write a novel, not when you have a full time job, family, and responsibilities, but it can be done. Most writers, in fact, have had to carry on two lives while they wrote their novel. But once you sell your first book, than maybe you'll be in the position to quit your day job and devote the rest of your life to writing full time.
