How Long Does it Take to Write a Book

Many people believe it takes years and years to write a book and it can if you wish to stretch out that long. But if you really know your subject matter you should be able to rattle off a book very quickly. Many writing experts say this is not possible and it takes countless hours and lots of patience to write a book.

Many of the experts say that there are some days you just can’t write because of writer’s block. I completely disagree and think this is a copout and it is simply laziness. You see, for the past 16 months I have been averaging 5600 words a day and at least twice a week I put out over 12,000 words per day.

Now my writing has been specifically online article writing up until now. I only have one published book as a co-author on the shelves at Barnes & Noble and at Amazon. I have three e-books on my web site, which I had done previously, which are basically How-To Books for the public. So I am not what you might call a book writer.

They call me an amateur online article author but let’s just put all the titles away for now. Today, I completed 16,800 words today in just under 17 hours. This represents 40 articles. I believe I could do this 3 times per week and still perform at 5,600 to 6,000 words a day the rest of the 4 days working 7-days a week, which is what I am use to before my retirement (self employment prepares one for anything I guess?).

I am not afraid of the hard work and believe if I have to I could double it in a crunch situation. I do not allow myself to get sick or anything of that nature. So, I believe I am up for the challenge, I guess I get to find out the hard way?

At this rate I could easily put out a 60,000 to 90,000 word novel in just over a week. And I believe that if you put your mind to something there is nothing you cannot do. Of course it would probably take me two weeks to edit it, but nevertheless that is still putting out a novel in three weeks and this is possible. So how long does it take to write a book? It takes a week or more. And the rest depends on you and your strength of character, determination and perseverance. Please consider this in 2006.
