How to Write a Book in Seven Days 
 
by Ian K Claridge June 14, 2005

A Writer Writes

All the hard work is now done. You have done the homework and all there is left to do is to give your mind free reign to do what it loves most. Pulling everything together and sitting down to one joyous burst of creativity.

So the last piece of advice I have is to clear your schedule. Leave yourself the space and time so that you can concentrate all you effort into you work.

Clear away everything that distracts or hinders. If you can, go somewhere where you can be alone with your project.

Set your mind totally on your goal. Make a decision that your going to sit down where ever you are and that the only thing your going to do for the next couple of days is write.

Really sometimes this can be the hardest part of all, getting the time and the space and holding on to the firmness of your goal.

Keep your head down and don’t let anything turn you from your purpose. I often find it helps to do a regular word count to gauge how I’m going every so often to make sure I am keeping on track.

But don’t be scared to take a breather if you need to. If it stops being enjoyable then you should do something to blow the cobwebs out. Because above all else writing should be something fun, that you love to do.

So go on. Take the bit between the teeth and start hitting the keyboard. All you have to lose is a week, yet a good book finished is a joy forever.
