My friend, I envy you. As a person you’ve gained so much experience and expertise but now you’re about to embark on an even bigger adventure.
You’re going to write your book. And frankly, who knows where that will lead. Certainly it will be an exercise in expression and achievement. But it could also be an enchanting marketing effort and perhaps even a profit center all by itself.
Whatever you want it to be, I’ll be right here to help you achieve your goals.
I used the word ‘envy’ when I began this introduction because I remember the first time the lights went on for me and I started using the very techniques I had developed and gathered. It was an amazing experience. I get that same feeling every time I start writing using the techniques you’re about to learn.
And every time I stand before an audience of professionals I feel that same envy. I know that by the time they’ve finished the seminar with me, they’re all going to arrive at a writing position they only dreamed of.
I should also tell you that this manual is a work in progress. It is complete, just as it is, in your hands. It contains all the information you could want to write your book faster than you ever thought possible.
But it is a manual that is far better than the manual that was produced last year.
Almost monthly, I make changes, offer improvements, and introduce new strategies and new ideas. I’m constantly trying to improve this success manual.
That’s why it’s produced in the form you see now. This manual format allows me to give you the latest version with the most up to the minute changes. You’re not getting a manual that is years old, with antiquated information.
You’re getting the very latest thoughts. In many cases, you’re reading much of what I was evolving just last week!!
No other manual can give you that kind of timeliness.
And it’s for that very reason that I ask one concession from you. Don’t get hung up on any spelling errors or grammatical imperfections.
If they exist in your manual, they will be remedied in a later version. But if I waited until the text was perfect, I’d never be able to bring you this manual-because I’m constantly changing it.
I also want you to know that the technique for writing a book in 14 days applies to both fiction and non-fiction. Both can be written at unbelievable speeds.
Unfortunately, many times as you’re reading along in a chapter, you’ll get the distinct impression I’m talking about non-fiction when you want to write fiction. Or you’ll be convinced that I’m talking about fiction, when you want to write non-fiction.
Please understand that in virtually every chapter of this manual, I’m talking about both fiction and non-fiction.
But to do so simultaneously would require too many literary gymnastics. So I might focus on fiction to give you an example. But understand that the same technique would work for the non-fiction counterpart. And vice versa.
Please try the techniques. They work over and over again. I have students all over the world who are successfully writing their books with these techniques.
The ONLY reason you could possibly fail to write your book is that you decide not to follow the guidelines.
I look forward to seeing your book, and to hearing about your success! Steve Manning
