Alright you’ve probably got a good chunk of words down on paper and it’s all over the place. It’s like puzzles falling out of a box and now it’s time to piece it all together and start making sense of what we have written here.
You aren’t going to do a deep edit such grammar and punctuation. You will however want to make sure things are spelled right and that you start constructing your sentences to flow and make sense.
Take about 1 hour and a half to edit, and if you don’t finish then don’t worry about it because you will always have tomorrow. Like we said, this is all about writing and getting your thoughts down on paper.
During the editing stage, you should be spending very minimal time on edits and more time focused on writing. You’re probably asking, “Well if I never edit how will I ever publish?”
Look here chuck, the average writers publish about a book a month, but were focused on at least 2 or 3 books a month. If you follow this publishing system you will be allowed to do that.
For example, let’s say your non-fiction book runs about 25-30 pages long considering it is value filled and churning with good content. Now we have 7 days in a week and we are going to be writing for 8 hours a day with spaced blocks in between. (8 hours won’t scare highly paid authors) That’s 56 hours a week of writing and you’re only spending an hour and a half on editing to make sure sentences flow which add up to 10.5 hours in a week. This is plenty of time for you to edit your books and make sure that they flow then send it off to an editor to make the professional adjustments to your content.
Your job is just putting the content down in a creative writing format and then editing for flow and then sending it off to an editor. In our estimation, that’s 1 book a week being edited by you and then sent off to an editor which would result in maybe another week’s times. That’s 3 books a month being published and about 5 or 6 that are on the back burner of being published. This number will increase over time as you get faster at writing and work this system as instructed here. That’s 36 books a year! More than what average authors are pushing out. This is of course assuming you want to be a highly paid author and your craft is going to be solely focused upon these efforts.
The best part about this is you don’t have any down time whatsoever. You are constantly writing and producing content and even more then that you are coming up with new ideas along the way that you can write down to create new books.
Now cut yourself some slack and don’t think you must be strict on your book writing. If you are having an off day and want to slow down and do some editing then go ahead because your already ahead of the gang anyways with your writing as most authors won’t be producing content as fast as this nor even attempting to.
Also, this system is assuming you are going into this full-time and not part-time. If you are currently working another job then you obviously wouldn’t meet these requirements and there is nothing wrong with that. Take your time with this process and get a feel for where you are and build off that there.
