This isn't a book on grammar or syntax, it's a wake up call for anyone who wants to write a book. You can attend all the writing conferences you want, but the simple truth is that you can't grow as a writer without actually getting words on a page. This insightful book is the accumulation of everything I've learned about writing over the last ten years, distilled into a short inspirational guide that should be next to every typewriter.

More DescriptionThis isn't a book on grammar or syntax, it's a wake up call for anyone who wants to write a book. You can attend all the writing conferences you want, but the simple truth is that you can't grow as a writer without actually getting words on a page. This insightful book is the accumulation of everything I've learned about writing over the last ten years, distilled into a short inspirational guide that should be next to every typewriter. It started off simply, a response to a Quora post, but somehow it wasn't enough. There's an old saying:"The one thing that you absolutely must do to win a race, is finish the race." Yet most aspiring-authors never even get a shot at the big publishing contract, because they don't ever finish the first draft. Fear, distractions, whatever. You have to push all that shit to the side and concentrate on your book. I did it, and you can too. I'll show you how to finish your draft in weeks, not years. I'm not special. I have no superpowers, and yet I readily crank out novels and novellas, short stories and poetry. I've learned the writing process through hard work and determination, and my goal with this book is to unlock that same drive in you. It's short, to the point, and filled with all the coaching you need to finish your damn book. I've also added a bunch of content to the original message, and this book has become an inspiration to all aspiring-authors to drop the aspiring label, and finish the damn book! By the way. I drafted this book in one day.
