I wrote a book in 30 hours.
So you could say I've pretty much got the speed writing thing down. As for tips, being insane helps, as does caffeine and nicotine. If you're an insomniac who's got an opinion on everything, that also helps. It's up to you to say whether I did a good job or not. Links to the book are in my sig, or here: Amazon and here: Smashwords if you fancy a look. |

***Will you be publishing the dead tree edition, Neil?***
Sadly, Dadio, we don't run non-fiction. If we did, I snatch Nick's hand off. This wee book grabs you by the short-and-curlies for three reasons 1) it's a remarkable piece of writing 2) the reader feels the book is written exclusively with him/her in mind 3) you're on the edge of your seat at every page-turn wondering if Nick really can pull off an entire book before he collapses over his keyboard. Does he manage it? Is there a *The End*? Does Life With No Breaks end mid-sentence on page 140? ... Not gonna tell you! Buy it now while it's still dirt cheap (before some big publisher picks it up) and find out for yourself. You won't regret it. And you'll probably, as I did, read it in the spirit in which it was written ... in one sitting. Hoots. Neil |
