    Hey you know what - if you want, I can always offer to run a play-by-play of my progress
    over the weekend on this board.

    Then you can have a live idea of how quickly it can go.

    I have an ebook being released soon, it took me about a week to get it all written up properly, but then again it does include videos too.

    If you can squeeze in video time as well, that's a very good shot! Congrats.

    How long it takes?

    It depends how many idea's I have to scam people easily with pointless written material. It probably takes 24hrs.
    Of course I don't write ebooks myself though.

    Definetaly not two hours. Depending on size/quality could take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks from start to finish.

    400 pages in a month is very impressive.

    Alright here we are 6:42 am on Saturday the 11th of December...

    I will be starting work on completing my whole first draft over the weekend as soon as I've had my morning coffee.

    I have 7 chapters and 14 sub-chapters to write.

    As always, I will not fix any typos as I go along, little formatting....just high-speed "get it down now" writing and then work at perfecting it later.

    Tommo312...I'll keep you posted throughout the day.

    Cheers.
