When you want to learn how to write a book fast, it can take five days, five weeks, or five months. If you're not working and you're taking a sabbatical, you can write your book in five days. If you're working a part-time job or you can dedicate 75 minutes a day to writing, then you'll finish your book in five weeks. But, if you're working full-time, have lots of outside responsibilities, or a family to spend time with, then plan on completing your book in five months.
Here's the fastest way to write a book in just five steps.
1. Decide on one topic that you're passionate about and write that topic on a sheet of paper.Circle it. Go to bed and dream about it. Let your imagination soar. Then the next morning look at the sheet of paper. Do you still like the topic you chose? If not then write ten topics on a sheet of paper and circle the one you like the best.
2. Create a working title for your book that reads like a one-sentence summary, but would make a friend curious enough to want to know more. For example, "The Day I Found Out that..."
3. If you're writing a novel, you'll need about 30-45 chapters; a nonfiction book - 10 chapters; a children's book - 32 pages. Choose the type of book you're going to write and then create chapter titles. If you're writing a nonfiction book, then you'll need 10 chapter titles. Ideally, your chapter titles will tell a little story as if you were creating a beginning, a middle, and an end. Someone who is unfamiliar with your book should be able to open the front cover and turn to your Table of Contents. While scanning down the page, a curiosity as to what will happen next should already be entering the reader's mind so they buy the book.
4. Starting with your first chapter, and looking at the title, just start writing and making up the story. If you're not good with reading your own handwriting, and you're not a fast typist on the keyboard, then buy an inexpensive digital recorder and dictate your words. You can have someone else transcribe your story, or else you can do it. Continue with all the chapters of your book.
5. When your book is written, go through each sentence and read it out loud to see if everything makes sense. Then you're ready to edit your book. It's best to do this after you've taken a break for a couple days. Then you can view your story with fresh eyes that will allow you to catch any spelling or grammatical errors.
One bonus thing to do that will make it easier for you to write your book is to stop writing in the middle of a sentence. Then the next day just pick up where you left off.
