EXCERPT from "Writing More" by Susan Mallery in Many Genres, One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction

Even those of us who don’t write Science Fiction are intrigued by the idea of controlling time. Imagine being able to do more with your day, to have extra free time to spend any way you would like. For a writer, more time means getting more work done, selling more books and making more money. Or maybe writing the same number of books in less time and being able to play more. There's a win we can all relate to.


But is that possible? And what if you could write more in a day—how would you know it was at least as good as what you’re doing now?
