I had the opportunity to attend the Book Expo America (BEA) conference this week in San Francisco. BEA is one of the biggest book expos in the world, and it’s been going strong for more than 70 years. There were a lot of interesting sessions and panels at BEA, and I learned a lot. However, there was one session that really stood out to me and motivated me to write this blog post. The session was called “How to Write an Ebook in One Day”, and was led by Elizabeth Chandler.
Here’s the TL;DR: If you want to write an ebook in less than 24 hours, here’s how you do it.
The Inspiration For My Book
A while back, I was searching for a new project to work on when I came across a blog post by Elizabeth Chandler. She had just released an ebook called The Accidental Creative, and I thought it would make a great addition to my library. The post mentioned that she had written this ebook in only 24 hours, and since I had a few days off, I decided to give it a try. I started work on my own ebook on a Friday afternoon, and, to my surprise, was able to finish it on Sunday evening. I was really pleased with how the book turned out, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised, too.
The main character in The Accidental Creative is a writer named Emily who is constantly struggling to find the time to write the novels and stories that she dreams of. She decides to take a leap of faith and impulsively buys an ebook writer, which to her surprise, turns out to be quite functional. This experience inspires her to write and create her own novel, entitled The Secret Life of Eva Braun, which is about a fictionalized version of Adolf Hitler’s lover, Eva Braun. As you may imagine, writing a novel in 24 hours is a feat, especially one that’s fairly well-written, and there are many similarities between Braun and Emily’s stories. I think you’ll enjoy reading both books.
The Process For My Book
When it comes to the process of writing an ebook in less than 24 hours, Chandler teaches you to think linearly. The key word there is “linearly,” not “non-linearly.” When you’re feeling overwhelmed, which, let’s be honest, most of us feel at one point or another, what you need to do is take it step by step. This means that you should break down the large task of writing an ebook into a series of smaller, more attainable tasks.
If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you could start by writing a short story, or, even better, a novelette. A novelette is a shorter, less complex story than a full-length novel, and it can be a great way to practice your writing and build your confidence. Start with somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 words, and don’t worry about character development or complex plotlines, you’re aiming to knock this out in one day. You can always go back and edit it later.
Once you’ve got your novelette or short story finished, it’s time to move on to the next step. Get a nice cup of tea or coffee, sit back, and re-read what you’ve written. Take your time with this, and work on making sure that everything is perfect. Rewrite and edit a few times until you’re satisfied with the result. Don’t rush this step, as you’re almost done.
The next step is to convert your text into digital form, which can be done with a tool called Turnitin. This is an automatic plagiarism checker, and it will flag any words or phrases that are taken directly from another source, be it a book, article, or tweet. You’ll need to review the flagged content and either edit or remove it from your work. This is especially important if you’re planning on submitting your manuscript to publishers or agents, as these individuals will most likely want to see original content. In the end, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you’re writing an ebook, not a traditional novel. The end product should be something that you’re proud of, and an excellent piece of writing that you can be proud to share with your friends and family.
