I'm going to listen to her teleseminar tomorrow and find out where I've gone wrong. It's taken me eight months to write 61,000 words on my memoir, and it's still nowhere near completion.
I can write fast. I've written 6,000 words in a sitting on more than one occasion. Working at that pace would mean I'd have myself a 60,000-word piece of non-fiction in less than two weeks.
The problem? The sixty thousand words would be garbled garbage. The sentences sloppy, the word choice careless, everything so far out of order you'd think you were watching the movie Memento. Don't put it past me to change the POV right in the middle of my own memoir.
Ann doesn't say anything about the editing process in her promo material, but I'm sure it will be addressed, along with the twin devils of procrastination and insecurity.
Join me on Twitter manana, where I'll tweet the highlights of this phone conference starting at 11:00 am Pacific Time. Together we will see if it's possible to write your book in 90 days!:
