CHAPTER 6: Power Tips and Techniques for Writers
In this chapter, I will list out some of the tips and techniques that I follow which would be useful to the writers.
--- For every 25mins, take short break when you write. You can go for a walk or jog or run. Or you can do some stretching at home itself. You would realize that you end up writing more if you follow this tip.
--- You don’t have to write in a linear way as it would appear in the finished book. You can go back and forth and write different chapters depending on the ideas and inspirations you get.
--- If you think of some points that you want to mention in the book and you are not close to the PC, record it somewhere. It can be anything like smart phone, notepad, Voice recording App. Etc.
--- Read a lot. Read anything that interests you. It doesn’t have to be related to the book you are writing. Good writer needs to be a good reader. Reading expands your knowledge. The more you read, the more you would end up writing.
--- Connect with like-minded people. Talk to the other aspiring writers or friends that are into writing. Join a local meet-up author group (http://www.meetup.com/) and network with them and share the ideas and opinions.
--- If you have blog or website, you can use that to practice writing. It would be so much easier to write 500 words blog post than writing a 10k words E-Book. You can even use the blog post to write a shorter one page version of your book and use that as an outline to write your E-Book.
Many people combine all the blog posts they have written and make that into a book. You can do that too, down the road.
--- Take a mini-vacation. You don’t have to go to Hawaii or Caribbean Islands. You can go to a place close to you. It can be in 50 miles radius. I find that, during the vacation, I get tons of ideas for new books and points for the book I am writing. New places kindle your creativity.
--- Try to serialize your books. Create a series of books on the same niche. Create a brand. Keep the feel, theme and style of the series books same on the cover design.
This subtly creates a brand and buyers can readily identify your books and buy them. This is what I have done with my books (“Money Making Machine” and “Non-Fiction Writing Machine”)
--- Learn to type fast. There are various FREE websites to learn typing. I used the following website to increase my typing speed. This is a cool site that keeps track of your progress.

--- In an effort to create a COMPLETE book with all the information under the topic, don’t end up writing 200 to 300 pages E-Book on a single problem. Your readers will hate you for it.
Here is why. If it is too lengthy, it will start boring at some point or the other.
