1500 Words Per Hour: How To Write Faster, Better And More Easily

[crich70]

I picked up a copy yesterday and it looks to have some good ideas on how better to get the most out of your writing sessions.

Do you struggle with the whole writing process? If you do it’s likely because you don’t have a proper writing system in place. But not just any system. I’m talking about a system that not only allows you to write faster but also produce HIGHER QUALITY WORK. Whether you are writing fiction or writing non-fiction this system will help you write with ease.

I would have ignored any book with that blurb. Sounds too much like a used car sales pitch.

I can easily blow through 2000 words in an hour. No big secret to it. I merely write the scenes mentally throughout the day, and then I just have to type it up when I get to the computer. I get a lot of "writing" done while exercising, driving, waiting on line, etc.

What does that book suggest that is so special?

Probably nothing actually. It does point out things that a person might not think of or pay attention to that can help them to write more, more quickly though.

There's also the fact that the author claims to be using this technique with success, but has no other books associated with that name. Call me a skeptic, but I never trust anyone that essentially says, "I'm a huge success, but under another name that I'm not telling you!"

Took a look at the sample. Early in the book is a link to claim a "free gift", a pdf report in exchange for your email address, outlining "marketing tactics". Clever tactic - put the link where people will click it even if they haven't bought the book. Sort of a back-up method of hooking people.

This thing gives me the same vibe I get when the work phone rings and it's someone claiming to be a Google Ranking Specialist.

That's what I thought, then I went and checked the preview (look inside) on amazon ... it's more 2:00am infomercial territory than used car sales pitches (and that may be an unfair characterization of infomercials).

I must have missed that. Of course I didn't read the whole thing word for word either.

I think I just have my BS detector running on high pretty much all the time due to having shysters calling / emailing daily. I'm also a habitual researcher, so it's second nature to dig deeper. (When a new customer calls us, I have them pretty well vetted before I even hang up the phone, though they don't know that.)

Somehow I manage to still be an optimist outside of business dealings.
