What’s in store when you’re done
Why write FAST?
The setup

When you’re done with this book, you’ll write ten times faster than you ever did before. You’ll write with lightning speed — the speed of thought. And I’m completely and totally serious.

Here’s how it’ll work:

An idea will pop into your head. Maybe it’s a book, a novel, screenplay, article, report... whatever. Within a few short hours (for the long stuff) or just a few minutes (for the short stuff), you’ll know exactly what to write on every single page.

Then you’ll write it. And I mean fast. It’s so easy, in fact, you’ll be amazed. It’s as if the book is just flowing out of you.

Then you’ll inspect what you’ve written. Here’s where most speed writing techniques fail, and most writers get discouraged. But not with FAST. As you read your work, you’ll immediately spot dazzling ways to transform it into gold. Problems leap out. And the solutions are crystal clear.

And finally, almost as if you’ve got magic fingers, you’ll sift through your work... twisting, tugging, and straightening out every kink, and making your writing electrifying.

You’ll complete your book (or whatever you’re writing) in record time, impressing everyone you know (especially yourself!).

Readers will love it. You’ll grab them with your style, and they’ll hang on every word. You’ll be writing fast in every sense.

That’s what’s in store for you when you finish this book.

No more writers block. Ever.

No more battling with Time. You’ll have a system for writing, even if you can only squeeze in twenty minutes a day.

No more getting intimidated by big projects. You’ll wonder how they ever scared you in the first place.

No more tired, boring, bloated writing. You’ll keep your reader glued.

I want you to get excited. I want you to read this book from cover to cover as quickly as possible, and then refer to it later when you need to. Because as soon as you’re done, you’re going to reach lightning speeds. Almost as fast as you can think.
