When I tell people that it is possible to write a great book in a mere 12 weeks, they either look at me flabbergasted or laugh it off saying “Oh, we can’t do a Houdini, can we?”
Fact is, you actually can (not a literal Houdini, mind you).
People usually presume that writing a book, and that also in 12 weeks, would be back-breaking work, with coffee-induced all-nighters and ugly eye bags. Well, my dear friend, I am about to tell you how anybody can write a book in 12 weeks without cutting corners in some way or working themselves to death. Read on!

Take a tip from Houdini and think outside the box
Anyone who has not been living under a rock probably knows of the great escapologist, Houdini. He could escape from the most impossible contraptions to escape from and would leave the audience with their mouths hanging open. There is one trick that he used to do, which I am going to mention here.
There would be a big solid brick wall on the stage and a couple of hedges on either side of the wall. Houdini would sit down next to the wall at the start of the act. The hedges would be moved together so you could still see the wall and over the top of the wall but you couldn’t see the sights anymore. Within 20 seconds or so, the hedges would be pulled back and voila! Houdini would suddenly be standing at the other side of the very thick, solid brick wall. It seemed superhuman.
How did he do that? By crawling through a trapdoor that transported him from one side of the wall to the other. Simple, isn’t it?
You can do a Houdini by working around the obstacles that face you. Find out creative methods that you can counter these challenges to writing your own book.
Create a system that suits you
Create a system of working that suits you and makes it easy for you to write quickly and efficiently. A one-for-all method never works, no matter how much people might try to convince you otherwise. Figure out which time is the most suitable for you to write without distractions, and create a schedule accordingly that you can follow in the 12 weeks.
Making things simple for your self is the first and the most important step. Trust me; I have an experience of 35 years in working with information and creating solutions for people to make their lives easier.
Stick to the plan
Once you are done with making a plan, grit your teeth and follow it. No matter what plan you have decided to follow, if you don’t go through it, you’re basically rendering it useless.
The success
