It’s easier than you think to write a book

“Matt, how do you write so quickly?”

Famous authors ask me that question all the time. And when I respond by giving them an honest answer, they’re always amazed at my incredible work ethic.

I recently wrote a 100k word novel in less than a day. Of course, it wasn’t easy. But with a little bit of hard work and perseverance, I accomplished something that many people said was impossible.

Here’s how:

I Paid Someone To Feed Me With A Silver Spoon

I spend a lot of time at my desk trying to write life-changing novels. And by that, I mean novels that will change my life due to the seven-figure advance from the publisher.

As you can imagine, my time is worth a lot of money per hour. So, I did some math and determined that hiring a chef to cook all of my meals and feed me would a lot more financially efficient than learning how to cook a cheeseburger.

Like always, I was correct. Implementing this strategy improved my overall level of productivity. The reason? I’m no longer wasting precious seconds lifting utensils from the plate to my mouth.

Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. Make them count.

I Learned That Quality Doesn’t Matter

Seriously… some of the stuff written by famous authors is absolute junk because so many concepts and tropes get overdone. It’s almost as if authors receive a juicy paycheck and magically decide to covert a standalone novel into a 12-book series.

Just like me, your favorite authors crave an extra zero in their bank account.

After learning that quality doesn’t determine the success of a book, I spent several hours bashing my fingers against the keyboard until I reached my goal of 100k words. Here’s a sneak preview of the first paragraph:

“Af opr we msz;l,cfj’a owez sjc gn;qi v aejvscf mn;q ovaejvc fq’jsn af o pav’sdl mz,cjr’x qo claev jxr’ lq;w jC wij otv;em cp42'x xe rz djx’3 rarvj;la ccj fgk jhsl eriow eiotj ggols jfcjrlgh boefjq qd w jfpwrog jfq pdjq.”

Sure, my novel might look like a bunch of crap filled with random letters and symbols to the uninitiated. So, if you don’t want to read the entire novel for a low price of $497, I feel sorry that you’re unable to appreciate fine art when you see it.

Thanks to the above strategies, I wrote a 100k word novel in less than a day. Of course, writing a beautiful work of fiction in a short amount of time might seem difficult. But I’ve done it. Which means you can, as well.
