What Can I Give (insert name of difficult-to-buy-for-person)?

Give a Gift that Lasts All Year!

Instead of socks, hankies and perfume, why not give a gift that will bring lasting benefits to someone you love?

What could be more fulfilling and satisfying than writing a book?

It doesn't have to be the Great Novel, it can be a book about anything:

  • If someone has extensive experience in a particular field, there's a book just waiting to be written. 

  • Collectors can write a history of whatever-it-is.

  • People who live in areas that have a chequered past can write a book about what happened.

  • Professional people can write about their area of expertise.

Everyone would secretly like to write a book - we all enjoy the sense of achievement when we've taken those jumbled thoughts from our fevered brains and made some sense of them on paper ...

Well, I know I do.

If you (or someone you know) is about to retire, trying your hand at something creative would have to be a great way to celebrate the start of the rest of your life. When my dad retired, the first thing he did was to head to an art supply shop to buy up tubes of paint, brushes, canvases etc. He'd always wanted to try painting, but he'd never had the time, so he spent the first six months of his retirement playing with his paint set in his shed. He had great fun and we always knew where to find him!

Writing a book offers the same sense of achievement - without all the mess!

If you think writing a book is something that has to take years of agonising, I have good news. Author, Steve Manning has put together a kit that contains books, videos and audio tapes to show you how you can write your book. It will take effort on your part - you have to follow the directions, but if you do, Steve actually guarantees that you'll have a book published within 12 months of starting the process. And if you can take a sabbatical - he says you can write your first book in just 14 days. 

What a great idea for a retirement or Christmas gift for yourself or that secret scribe near and dear to you. It only takes a moment to have a look (and you help add to my Running Away Fund in the process):

If you'd like to know a little more about the credentials of Steve Manning so you'll feel more confident about looking seriously at what he has to offer, read on ...

His book received rave reviews from professionals throughout North America, the New Jersey State Bar Association, Association of Independent Consultants, National Speakers Association, MENSA, Association of Image Consultants International, and professionals literally all over the world (from Australia to India to Africa to England and virtually every province and state in North America). So you'd have to assume he knows what he's doing!

What Steve does in this book, is to help you get your ideas down quickly. He cites several famous and successful authors who've written their books using speed writing techniques: Mark Twain—who never got it right the first time but always got it right the second time; Jack London—who could sit down and write ten pages and virtually none of it needed to be edited; Isaac Asimov—who held the secret of developing a simple and straightforward style, the very foundation of speed writing; Barbara Cartland—listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most prolific contemporary writer on the planet; Stephen King—whose outlining strategy became the basis of Steve's now famous blue-printing technique.

Here's what you get in the Write a Book package: 

  • You’ll get a complete 200+ page manual that takes you step by step through the process of writing. This manual has been tested, retested and proven so the results you’re looking for are right there. Everything you could ever want to help you write and publish your book in the shortest possible time is contained in this manual.
  • You also get an extensive collection of audiotapes so you can learn while you drive, or while you relax. Some people simply learn faster by listening to the information. Now you have that option. All the information you need is in this audiocassette library.
  • A “QuickStart” audiotape that will have you well on your way to producing your book in just 30 minutes. Getting started is always the hardest part and this tape gives you all the incentive and help you need to overcome the first big hurdle on the path to writing your book.

There's nothing quite like getting tips and pointers "straight from the horse's mouth" and with this package, that's exactly what you get.

For some reason, these elicit similar feelings to the thought of speaking in public - i.e. dread!
