I am writing a Personal Development Book.
I have seen many best seller strategy to write a book;
WRITING 2 PAGES everyday is enough.

Do you agree with that?

I am writing two pages everyday, but if I edit them they may be decrease 40% (pages).

Do you know any other STRATEGY that WORKS BEST?

Plan out what you're going to write, decide what's more important and what only needs to be touched on and allocate pages for each. Then try to write each section, big or small in one day. That way you don't lose track of what you're writing or miss out anything important, and if you keep all the pieces separate before cramming together into a book, you can add more pieces as you go along. Also don't edit as you go through, only edit when a whole chunk has been done. Once again, it's so you don't lose track of what you're writing and don't leave anything out.

Depends on what works best for you. If 2 pages a day is what you can do, do it.
I heard of an author who wrote for a certain amount of time everyday. If he was in the middle of a sentence when the time was up, he stopped. If he finished a book 10 or 15 minutes before the time was up, he started another one.
Just be sure to write every day.
Writers write.

I think if you enjoy it then writing should come easy and be enjoyable to read. Instaed of writing 2 pages every day why not write as much or as little as you want a day? take the pressure off.

Write as much as you can every day - just get your ideas down on paper for as long as your concentration lasts. If inspiration is flowing, why stop? Don't worry sbot editing at this satge; that can come later. Good luck with your book - I hope it's successful.

Write a set number of words every day, like 1,000.

Keep writing until the writing is done. Write, read aloud, edit, re-write, move on and repeat ad infintum until it is done. You will know when it is done.

Disagree! If me, I'll write as much as my brain can. I think it better to get most of I think, at least a topic.

This is Your book, so do what works best for you.
