You Can Not.....................................?

Question

Do you think that you can write a book in 28days?

I have seen a website that says, they have the proof everybody can write a book in 28 days with their prooven methods....

Do you believe that?

Answer 1

Anything is possible.

If it comes with a moneyback guarantee, why not go for it?

Answer 2

Anyone could write a book in 28 days, but I wouldn't pay for their "proven method."

Writing a book is the easy part. But to be published, you have to pay a lot out of your pocket. First you have to pay an editor an average of $1 per page, because publishers no longer use them. Then you have to get an agent and pay their expenses because publishers will not look at any book that doesn't come through an agent. Even then the chances of getting published and making money are slim. The average pay for a first book is $5,000. If you figure on 2 years minimum to get published and paying the agent 15-20%, that's not a lot of money.

Answer 3

Well, first of all not everybody knows how to write at all. But I remember saying, that "impossible to men can be possible to God". If you mean, whether YOU can write it in 28 days, I would answer that it could be possible but would not recommend to try, because really good books can't be written in this way yet, or, might be, already. So says my intuition. But, again, if you've already composed it in your mind and the only thing is to type it, it can be quite possible to finish even earlier; of course it depends on size, text difficulty, your willingness and ability to concentrate, etc. So, I believe, it can be possible with some conditions that should be applied.

Answer 4

Oh yes. But I'm sure the website doesn't say that the books people write will be any good or worth reading!

On a simply practical basis... If you write 2000 words a day (not that hard, honestly!) you will have a 48,000 word manuscript in that time. A novel, sure. But as I mentioned, maybe not one of great literary merit!

It's all down to the writer, always.

The author Enid Blyton reportedly wrote at a speed of about 10,000 words per day.

Answer 5

28 days at about ten pages per day. More than possible if you can actually write and have the time. Not sure that a book written by me would be any good but I'm sure any one who studied English at University would have no problems.

Answer 6

Writing a book in 28 days is not impossible. You did not mention what kind of book. We all know that the sacred book of Christianity "Bible" and the epic poem by Valmiki Maharshi of Lord Ramachandra's war was not written in 28 days.

Answer 7

It depends on how much free time you have to apply within that period, and how well you are able to focus your mind. I have been trying to complete a novel for over two years now, and my preliminary summery has been well received by more than one publisher. I have written over 100,000 words, but it really comes in fits and starts. Sometimes I am just not in the mood, other times I feel no inspiration. So at times I have written nothing for months, and at other times I have written several chapters in a few days....

Answer 8

I guess that if you could sustain yourself to work non-stop on a book for 28 days, then it could be done. Also it depends on the length of the book, you can get many short books.

Answer 9

I suppose you could - if it was a short story. After all a childrend book can be as short as 5 - 10 pages long with one sentence on each page. That - even I could write.

Answer 10

yes, its possible. Writing a book needs only a thinking n imaginary level should be high . Ofcourse u should be a traveller all round.

Answer 11

You can do anything that you put your mind to in 28 days - but it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality would be good!!

Anything truly creatively inspired takes time and nurturing.
