Book Description
This concise guide tells you how to write a novel by using a systematic approach to writing. This guide is written by an author not a 'guru'. A simple step by step breakdown of how to plan each day. No fillers and no theory, just the hard facts in a concise guide. There are many guides about writing novels on the market but how many of them are written by prolific published authors? The answer is ‘not many'. How can anyone write a guide unless they have been through the writing process many times before? The simple answer to this question is they can't because they cannot feed on their own actual experiences to help another writer to avoid the mistakes and pitfalls. Most guides regurgitate information which they have picked up from creative writing books or sites. How can they give you advice when they have never sat down and focused on creating a novel which will sell, many times over? Writing a novel is the same as any other task we undertake as individuals. We have to learn how to do it in order to do it well. When you first learn to drive, you need lessons. No one walks into the kitchen and creates a gourmet dish on their first attempt. If you want a system to apply to writing a book, then you need to take advice from an ‘author’ who has taken years to develop the process via experience.

Book Description
In a riveting debut novel infused with uncommon insight, Janet Gilsdorf draws readers into an unforgettable story of love, heartache, family, and renewal. After six years of marriage, Anna and Jake Campbell have settled into a routine of daily responsibility and familiar comforts. The demands of raising two small children—three-year-old Chris and baby Eddie—take a toll, especially combined with Jake’s schedule as an orthopedic surgeon. But together, cautious Anna and calm, optimistic Jake negotiate, sometimes gracefully, sometimes not so much, every obstacle that comes their way. Until the night Eddie gets sick. When Anna phones Jake at work to seek advice, he reassures her that Eddie has just caught her cold. But with the morning light comes the terrible realization that her baby is seriously ill. Guilt-ridden, deeply angry, and shell-shocked, Anna spends bottomless hours alone in the ICU where Eddie teeters on between life and death. In the days that follow Eddie’s diagnosis, grief gives way to recrimination and accusations. Anna, focused only on her younger son, ignores Chris’s need for attention, while Jake is drawn to an old temptation. And the six steady years Anna and Jake have spent together—years of give and take, hope and hardship, inside jokes and shared memories—seem suddenly fragile and fleeting. Ten Days is a beautifully written and compelling story of the simple, momentary choices that come to shape our lives, of love tested to the limit, and of the myriad small triumphs that can become our greatest joys. Praise for Janet Gilsdorf and TEN DAYS "A heart-twisting spiral through one family's nightmare and their journey home. Authentic and insightful, Ten Days is a mesmerizing gem that reminds you to laugh, to weep, and to relish all that binds us together in love." —Carol Cassella, national bestselling author of Oxygen and Healer "One doesn't have to be a parent to be deeply affected by the story of the Campbells. From the opening scene tension rides high and there were moments when my hand trembled turning the page. Janet Gilsdorf writes with a surety that allows her to bring this difficult, dramatic tale to its life-affirming conclusion and leave the reader wanting more." —Holly Chamberlin, author of Last Summer "An absorbing can't-put-down novel. A page-turner to the end, Ten Days is a must read. . .a book that you will long remember."—Roberta Gately, author of Lipstick in Afghanistan "I was riveted by this family's journey to the edge and back. There is just enough medical detail to make the events crisp and authentic. Anyone who has ever cared for a child will feel for Anna and Jake as they fight to save their baby. This is a novel you won't want to miss." —Rosalind Noonan, author of The Daughter She Used to Be

Book Description
You can write a book in a day. The author of nineteen books (eight are multiple editions) including two treatises, a novel, a prayer book, and even a dictionary, shows you how it's done. How To Write A Book In A Day...was. It might as well have been entitled How To Write A Book In No Time. The author describes his method, following basic research, for writing a one-thousand-page legal treatise on the subject of corporations in five days. He then sets out his method for writing a number of his books in less than three days. He is convinced that you can do it too. His latest book is your road map to authorship and will encourage you and push you to the precipice of a great adventure...becoming an author. Mr. Snyder's instructions and his encouraging words include more than the nuts and bolts required to write your own volumes. He outlines, as well, the personal processes which led him to write books on no less than ten divergent topics, each requiring a special but simple technique. All you are required to know is what you know. Most writing, fiction or nonfiction, involves the author's past and present, the author's philosophy, religion and/or social situation, and, most importantly, begins with a dream and ends with an accomplishment. By following the admonition of Thomas Jefferson, "Always take hold of things by the smooth handle," you will learn of the remarkable shortcuts leading to your own publication. You will be inspired to live your dreams. You will be informed that the writing of a book is simple prose stretched just beyond everyday term papers and reports and simply is writing more than you have written before. You will learn that book writing requires no special training or even expertise. All that is required is that you be a person in history with a desire to convey information. You will learn that the purpose of writing your book ultimately is to assist others to enjoy and understand something which you already know, but they don't. Read this book, and then write your own.
