I finished writing a book … in just 10 days
Readers of mine, welcome. I think I’ve just broken a personal best when it comes to finishing a book. The previous record stood at 34 days for Prince Dietrich, the first volume that is. Now, I’ve managed an even better lap time. Just ten merry days of writing. So what gives? Here are some numbers. The new work is a technical-business book. Non-fiction that is, and actually, this is easier writing than fiction, because you really don’t need to invent...

Hmm, my novel ( published in September ) took me almost 6 years! But yes, technical non fiction if you know your stuff is probabkly quicker. ANd no rewriting.

I tend not to rewrite fiction either. Once you go down that route, you can always rewrite a bit more, and a bit more, and a bit more :)Igor

Yes. Although I think the changes were to the better. And I am a woman of many words so it helps to cut some. Did you know that Tolstoy re wrote Anna Karenina 9 times and his attitude towards the main characters changed completely? Of course I am no Tolstoy. Not yet anyway.lol
