5 Day Ebook Writing Update - Day 2 part 1

GOLD COAST, Australia, Oct. 7 -- Today I'm moving into phase two of my 5 day rapid ebook writing experience. So far I've written a title for my ebook, outlined the five major sub-categories I want to cover, and written down a few ideas to cover in each section.

My goal today is to get at least one chapter written. If I can write two I'll be ahead of schedule. Which will be good as I'm not going to have a lot of time to work on my ebook on Saturday as I'm attending a conference.

What have I learned about rapid ebook writing so far?

1. If you choose a topic you have a deep interest in, and if you pull your finger out and get stuck into the work, ideas trickle at first, but as you work and as you focus, the trickle soon turns into a stream which turns into a raging torrent ... and ... before you know it, you've accomplished far more than you thought you would in such a short space of time.

I mean, I had no idea yesterday morning when I woke up that I was going to start writing an ebook. But now, a little over 24 hours later, I've got a working title, chapter outlines, and a couple of pages of ideas for content for each chapter.

2. The phrase "deeply interested" is important when selecting your ebook topic. This is because the word "deeply" has a neurological reference to the fact that you have a lot of stored information in your subconscious mind about the subject already - from years of interaction with the topic. This marvelous storehouse of information comes to your aid as you begin to "get your thoughts out" on paper or on the computer screen.

You come to realize the truth of this statement as you begin "brain storming" for ideas. You can't do a "brain dump" of ideas you don't have. You must already possess much of the information you need to write your ebook if you're going to write it rapidly.

That's not to say you can't write an ebook on a subject for which you have little interest or knowledge. It just means if you're going to choose such a topic then you need to be prepared to spend a lot of time in research mode.

Point being, make it easy for yourself by writing about stuff you have a high level of interest in.
