Dear friends, it is possible to write your book in a record time i.e. 14 days or less. The technique is a time management methodology. A fact is unknown to many of us is that there is a book in everyone and it needs to be brought out. All this can be done in a proper way and with proper planning.
Day 1
First thing is to do a preliminary research about the book. The research involves your own capabilities as a writer, areas of expertise, characters you would like to appear in your book, plot backgrounds, settings, and linguistic drama. You need to sit around for a few hours and put your ideas on to a couple of loose sheets. Select an idea (Topic) for the book. You have a very large field from where you can choose your topic. Just look around your world and you would find variety of them. If you have access to the Internet, join some discussion groups and post your idea there and you’d find enormous replies.

Day 2
You’d definitely get better response from the Forum/Discussion Groups. Choose your topic that you like most and can write better. Develop some plots; build some characters that would appear in the story. Then write down each and every plot in a sequence. Once you have completed your preliminary research, studied it and organized it into topics, then you have a manuscript ready with you.
Day 3
Now, you are ready to start writing your book. Develop an outline for each plot. Put the sub-topics into a sequential order. Write the content, just the first draft; write ideas as they come to you. Organize them into the appropriate parts of the outline and elaborate upon them.
This would keep you busy all along the day.
Day 4, 5,6,7,8
By this time you must have had clear idea about the whole book, so now it’s time to name your book. Please have a glance on the whole contents and write down an appropriate name for the book. Decide on a name that roughly describes what the book is all about.
Once you have chosen a name for the book, it is now time to start elaborating each draft of each plot in detail. Plan and write the work in sessions. Break the topics/plots into small chapters so that each idea can be covered in respective chapter. Plan your time accordingly; every hour, every day, and every evening to work on your book. If you are persistent and keep at your writing and your book, eventually you will finish it by the due date.
Day 9, 10
Now, it is time to rework on the book. Go through each chapter and try to relate the plots into a continuous story. If you find a gap or some left-out part, just cover it with care. This will take your two days 9th & 10th.
Day 11, 12
You have arrived at the most crucial part of writing a book. Yes, proofreading and editing. This may prove to be a tough job for you because by now, you're at the end of your book. If you feel, ask one of your friend or colleague to give it a try and ask him/her to be very careful as your publisher may send your manuscript back to you and that’d be a very disappointing session for you. Do not forget to do the spell-checking.
Day 13
The book is finally ready. Contact your Publisher and send your copy to him. Publish it any way you want. It’s up to you.
Day 14
Enjoy your status as an author!
