Lunchtime Author: How to become an author without impacting your already busy life

by Keith Chapman, Mikel Whelan (Illustrations)

I've wanted to be a legitimate author ever since graduate school. I got the writing bug after spending nearly 6 months of writing my thesis and I actually enjoyed it. I had no trouble starting to write books but I rarely got past the first chapter. After years and years of these false starts, I finally figured out a method of writing that works in the cracks of time within my insanely busy schedule created by being a high-level executive in a sizable corporation, an involved father of two kids, and a dedicated husband. I actually walked away with my first novel completed. And further to that, I am happy with the result with nearly no impact on my corporate or family duties. You too can accomplish this regardless of how busy you are. At some point in your day, you are in full control of at least one hour of your time. Perhaps this only occurs for one or two days per week. The point is, you have this time if you look for it. I will show you how to use that precious time and turn it into a completed book of which you can be proud. This book is about how to start your book, how to keep momentum, and how to finish it all over your day job's lunch hour or actually any hour you find in the day. It tells the story of how I was able to become a Lunchtime Author without affecting my schedule and how you can too.

I received "Lunchtime Author" as a Goodreads Giveaway. I am so glad I did as I found the book easy to read and ironically I read most of it during lunchtime. Author Keith Chapman offers practical advice to carve out time to write, assists you with ideas to tackle writer's block, and to keep you progressing on writing goals. I would recommend it to an aspiring author.
