If you write eBooks (or want to) you probably wish you could
write faster without compromising the quality of your work.
There are a number of methods that you can use when eBook writing to shorten your
writing time while maintaining the integrity of your work -
maybe even improving it. Just a few of these methods are outlined
below:
Comfort: I know this sounds simplistic, but it works.
Find a setting that is comfortable for you. It can be in your
office, or in your bed (no T.V.).
Take this a step further and make sure you are dressed comfortably
as well.Yes, if you're most comfortable in your P.J's, that's ok.
When you are in you're comfort zone you're ability to write
quickly and produce you're best work is at it's highest.
Distractions: Make sure that all distractions are eliminated.
This may seem difficult, but a little planning can solve a lot of problems.
If you're a work-at-home parent, make sure your children are
safely out of the way with a sitter, at school, napping or
asleep for the night. If you live on a busy street, close the
windows, well you get the drift...
The elimination of distractions will allow you to write quicker
and is also known to reduce or eliminate the chance of developing
writer's block.
Outline: If you've heard that an outline is a waste of
time, don't believe it. There are unlimited benefits to using an
outline.
For instance, you know exactly what you want to write and how
you're going to do it. This means that you can simply focus on
you're writing and not worry about your next step. It also means
the order of your writing is set and you won't forget a step.
This method of eBook writing will save you considerable time.
SpellCheck: Even though you're going to edit your work
when you've completed the eBook, using SpellCheck and GrammarCheck
will have already spotted or eliminated many errors.
If you use a word processor such as Microsoft Word, your spelling
errors and gramatical questions will be highlighted. With this in
mind you can write away and make corrections when you're finished.
This will keep your writing and ideas flowing.
Proofreading: You may like to proofread your writing
paragraph-by-paragraph,or chapter-by-chapter, but this is a time
waster. Once you're on a roll with your writing it is best to keep
going.
Editing and proofreading will have to be done when you finish,
so don't interrupt the flow of your writing with continual
proofreading. You'll simply waste time and effort.
Time: Speaking about time, don't worry about it! Even if
you're on a deadline (and who isn't?), worrying about the time it's
going to take to write will distract you and have a negative impact
on your work.
Focus on your writing, not the time it takes to do it. By doing
so you'll end up writing faster and without the mistakes that will
cost even more time to re-write.

a very lucrative venture and discovering ways to create them in less
time can add to your profit line.
