Preface

On 13-14 Sep, 2014, I attended a program

titled “Success Seminar” organized by

Success-Gyan (India) in partnership with

Success-Resources (Singapore). It was a

huge seminar and I got the chance to listen

to 12 speakers belonging to 12 different

areas of life. Some of the leading speakers

of the seminar were:

1. Mr. Robert Kiyosaki (author of the

bestselling book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad')

2. Mr. Mahatria RA (author of the

bestselling book 'Unposted Letter').

3. Les Brown (World's leading

motivational speaker)

4. J. T. Fox (World's #1 wealth coach)

I was very happy after attending this

seminar. In that seminar, there was an author

from Canada, Mr. Gerry Robert who spoke

on the subject of “How to write a book”.

This section was my favorite.

After one month, Mr. Gerry Robert

was organizing a special training program

on “Book-Writing” in New Delhi on 18

October. I had already written and published

two books, but even then I made up my

mind to attend his training session as I liked

his dedication and the way he taught his

audience.

When I reached the venue for Mr.

Gerry Robert's Signature Program, I found

the environment very exciting & full of

energy. I met there people from different

backgrounds and walks of life. Next to me,

was sitting a C.A. Who had already

published a book on 'Risk Management'.

I also saw there a Dance Teacher.

Then I realized that so many people in our

society have a dream of writing a book &

publishing it. But only a small number of

them could afford to avail such types of

opportunities in Metro Cities.

That day, when I returned to my

home, I said to myself that I will write a

book for aspiring writers and assist them in

realizing their dreams. Finally I am very

happy today because this book titled “How

to Write a Book in 45 Days” has helped

thousands of aspiring authors to begin their

journey with their very first book.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my Pyari Bhanji

“Sanu Bansal”. Because when my book

“Path To Existence” was released, she took

my book to her school and told everyone

that her mama has written this book. She is

in class 3rd. Her little cute action that day,

will always be an emotional moment for me.

CHAPTER - 1

It All Starts

With Burning Desire

“I don’t write because I am skilled of it, I

write because I am inspired.”

- Ankit Agrawal

For writing your very first book, there is

only one qualification that you require and

that qualification is that you should have

nothing but a burning desire to write a book.

For your book writing journey, you will

have to break some old belief systems and

should clear following concepts first and

then condition yourself with below provided

auto suggestions.

1. The making of a book:

A book is waiting to come out of you, when

you start seeing below signs in your life.

Ankit Agrawal

2 Sample Copy. Not for Distribution.

If you have a thought that stops you

from sleeping all the night.

If you can listen to a voice that says

that it is important for you to

complete your existence.

If you sometimes feel that this is a

way for you to live on this earth after

you are no more.

2. The making of an Author:

The making of an author is based on below

three pillars.

A dream

A sub-conscious desire

The ultimate goal

3. The misconception:

You will have to get rid of some

misconceptions in book writing. For your

first book you need not be afraid of

following skill-sets.

Good Vocab

Good writing skill

Good imagination

4. The True Path:

You will require below companions to walk

on your true path.

Burning desire

Unshakable faith

Vision

5. Break the Old Belief System:

I should not write as I have no

language command.

I should not write as I have no story-

telling talent.

I should not write because writers are

born by birth.

6. Think out of Box:

I will write because it is my dream to

write my book.

I will write because my inspirations

will develop my skills.

I will write because I cannot say

good-bye to this world with my

dreams remaining unfulfilled.

Important Auto Suggestions for your sub-

conscious mind:

Ankit Agrawal

Next day before working on your book,

please do this exercise tonight and speak

below statements to yourself while going to

sleep.

1. This is not your wish; God has chosen

you for this entitlement.

2. The place is waiting for you.

3. The whole universe is ready to assist

you.

4. Your family will not be a hindrance

for it but a reason for it.

5. This is your Life's Purpose.

You are now becoming the creator of your

life.

CHAPTER - 2

Not Writing Skill But

Inspiration & Discipline

The first question that comes to the mind of

the aspiring authors is, “What does it take to

write a book?”

They take their steps back thinking that:

1. It takes good writing skill (but it

does not, it takes a dream).

2. It takes a good vocabulary (but it

does not, it takes discipline).

3. It takes a talent of imagination (but

it does not, it takes emotions).

So, my dear friends don’t let go of your

dreams so easily. What it takes to write a

book is already there in you:

1. You just need to focus on your

dream,

Ankit Agrawal

6 Sample Copy. Not for Distribution.

2. You just need to impose some

discipline on you and

3. You just need to live your

emotions.

When you start working on your book, all

the necessary tools will gradually become

available to you. You will develop your

writing skill as you progress. And you will

get the right words for your writing, in

whatever you read in your daily life.

So, don’t worry about these

unnecessary things and think about just

these Three Pillars, which are: Dream,

Discipline & Emotions.

Let me describe each pillar and its

connection to help you start & complete you

first book:

1. Dream

Whatever we see around ourselves, is the

result of someone’s dream. Any creation

first takes place in the mind of human-being,

after that it comes into reality. Therefore, in

order for you to write a book, you should

How to Write a Book

first have this dream that you are going to

write a book & publish it.

2. Discipline

Writing a book is not a Rocket-Science.

Once you have a dream to write a book, then

you should start writing daily for a specific

period of time on a regular basis. And you

should strictly stick to your daily writing

target religiously. And this is the discipline,

which plays the most crucial part in starting

with your book, getting ahead with your

book and working with your book till

completion.

Without discipline, no writer in the

world can realize his dream of completing

his book.

3. Emotions

You are thinking, “If I want to become a

good writer, I should have the imagination

power to cook up a story”. Due to this, you

get discouraged and don’t get started with

your book writing project.

Ankit Agrawal

8 Sample Copy. Not for Distribution.

In the initial state, don’t get trapped in

the technicalities of book writing. You don’t

need a talent of cooking up a scene or a

story, all you need, is emotion. And the truth

is that God has endowed every human-being

on this earth with this gift of emotions.

If you can feel for your dream, if you

can feel your strong emotions, then just trust

them and start working on your book. Don’t

bother at the first stage; you can always edit

what you have written. But you can never

edit what you haven’t written.

So first let the content flow from you.

Be it in sequence or in complete chaos. Just

keep on writing, keep on writing, don’t

arrange, just keep on writing because this is

all you need to start with, for your first

book.

CHAPTER - 3

Making The Working Plan

Now since writing a book has become a

burning desire for you & you are ready to

follow the path of dream, discipline and

emotions, the next step for you is to plan

your book writing journey.

Planning your writing project is a

very important step in book writing. You

should not just jump-start without making

any plan. You could end up messing your

whole project.

There are following topics which you

should plan in advance before you begin

your book writing journey:-

1. In how many days, do I want to

see my book completed?

2. In how many pages, do I want to

see my book printed?

Ankit Agrawal

10 Sample Copy. Not for Distribution.

3. What should be the theme of my

book?

4. What should be the title of my

book?

5. How many chapters should I have

in my book?

6. How much lengthy should an

average chapter of my book be?

7. How much should I write on a

daily basis to complete my book in

stipulated time?

8. Where will I write?

9. When will I write and for how

much time?

10. What will be the key benefits of

my book to my readers?

Once you note down the answers to above

10 questions, you are ready to crystallize

your project and work on it.

CHAPTER - 4

Finalizing And Making A Goal

After planning the title, theme & writing

duration of your book, you should make

various goals regarding completion of the

book. The difference between a dream and a

goal is that dream does not have a date

attached with it whereas the goal has.

Since, you have decided that you are

going to complete your book in 45 days,

now you should declare when you are

starting and when will you complete. And

you should post this time-table on your

writing area wall. So that whenever you see

it, it reminds you of your goal. You may

write like, “I am starting my book on 1 Nov

and my book will be complete by 15 Dec.

My book will have 15 chapters and I will

complete each chapter within a time frame

Ankit Agrawal

12 Sample Copy. Not for Distribution.

of 3 days. There is great power in Goal.

Once you make your goal, the power of goal

will give you enthusiasm, vision, energy &

guidance to complete your project.

So never start your writing project if

you cannot assign a starting date & a strict

completion date to your project. Because

then it will be like a journey where starting

station & destination station time table is

missing. You will not know when to board

& when to de-board. So wisely make a goal

for your book writing project and then

diligently stick to your goal deadlines each

day.

Therefore clearly examine your

current schedule, workloads &

responsibilities and find out at what time

you can fit in your writing hour and then on

the basis of availability and regularity of

your writing hour, choose the start date &

completion date of your book writing

venture.
