The Book Factory Method will teach you how to do just that.
If you want to learn how to get started, stay on track, and get those books ready to submit—this book puts a method to the madness of novel writing.

Kerri Nelson survived a fifteen year career in the legal field and then took her passion for crime solving to the page. But her journey to become a mystery author took a decade long detour into the world of romance where she penned twenty two novels and novellas in various sub-genres.
Born and raised a true southern belle, Kerri holds many useful secrets: how to bake a killer peach cobbler; how to charm suspects with proper batting of the eyelashes; and how to turn your parasol into a handy weapon.
Kerri is an active member of Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America which includes various volunteer positions such as Board Member at Large and Daphne Published Contest Category Coordinator of Kiss of Death RWA (Chapter for Romantic Suspense Authors).

Kerri is an active member of Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America as well as numerous chapters including Futuristic Fantasy & Paranormal Writers and the Kiss of Death Chapter for mystery/suspense authors.
In her new book The Book Factory Method, Kerri Nelson explains how thinking in fifteen-minute time blocks is a sneaky way to find time to write.
If you fast draft, you can actually produce quite a few words on the page in fifteen minutes, and in Kerri’s case, those dedicated fifteen minutes have produced a passel of published books. Will this work for everyone? I have no idea. But it worked for me.
Following her advice, I found that sitting down and fast drafting (Kerri makes a particular point about applying this method only to new writing, not revision or editing) even for as little as fifteen minutes a day put words on the page for me. Working within the time limit also trained me to be more focused. Knowing I was being timed, I learned to ignore distractions. After all, there are very few things you can’t let slide for a few minutes.
In addition to the fifteen-minute writing method, Kerri provides many hints and helps for becoming more productive as a writer. She examines goal setting, motivation, and some writerly tricks for plotting (she’s a pantser), writing pitches and queries, and maintaining one’s physical and mental health as a writer.
I strongly recommend The Book Factory Method for anyone who wants to become a more productive writer.
