Would you like to get more words every day without increasing the time you spend writing or sacrificing quality? It's not impossible; it's not even that hard. This is the story of how, with a few simple changes, I boosted my daily writing from 2,000 words to over 10k a day and how you can, too."

Expanding on the author's highly successful process for doubling daily word counts, this audiobook - a combination of reworked blog posts and new material - offers practical writing advice for anyone who's ever longed to increase their daily writing output.

Full of easy-to-follow, practical advice from a commercial author who doesn't eat if she doesn't produce good books on a regular basis, 2K to 10K focuses on not just writing faster but writing better and having more fun while you do it.

Any author who is looking for a writing boost at any point in their career would enjoy this audio book. I was in a bit of a writing slump and it got me back on course immediately.

Good advice for writers

Good actionable advice on writing better, faster. Also a lot of tips on writing a novel, which felt like a bonus!

For list lovers

If you love lists like I do you'll love this book. It's a great step by step method of not only writing quickly but writing well.

Excellent resource for beginner writers

The book offers short and to the point informative writing craft advice.

The first part talks about what the title promises: Rachel's method of getting to 10K new words in about 6 hours of writing a day.

The second part is arguably even more important. Rachel talks about the prep work and plotting scaffolding that allows her to flow through her scenes.

The final portion discusses editing, because after the 1st daft is quickly completed, she follows up with about 3 rounds of self-edits before sending it off to agent/editor.

The writing style is clear, conversational, and fun.

I loved reading Rachel's last Dragon Standing series and knowing her process, I'm ready to apply it to my next book and have even more fun.

Great advice

I have a lot to work with after listening to this book. I came in doubtful, but now I have hope I can write faster, better drafts. I don’t know I can do the editing the way she says. Even if I only take away how the outlining works, it will be worth my time.

Great writing advice

This book offers excellent writing strategies for the professional or would be professional writer. Her ideas are very practical and easy to use. I think the slightly more experienced writer will get the most of these tips.

Straight Forward, easy to listen to.

The narrator is great, the content is very straight forward and inspiring. I picked up many a tip from this.

2K to 10K to Must Read (or listen)

Packed with useful information and actionable takeaways, the author deep sixes the frills and fluff, leaving room for the things all authors can use. And as an add bonus to upping your word count, you will be a better writer if you use just a few methods that Rachel Aaron suggests. I wanna be a little bit better than a better writer so i plan on implementing everything. And if you wanna take your writing to the next level, then maybe you should too.

Good news: planning can save the day!

This is a fascinating and tremendously helpful book! As a new writer, I've gone through several books and laboriously typed every page... And then had to make a lot of changes later. It took forever. But Rachel has a good way of showing you how to plan out your book and take care of your writing schedule so that the words flow so much faster. And along with the planning, she says there will be a huge reduction in the amount of edits you have to do later... Which we all know is the hardest part of writing. Its an process, and I look forward to trying it.

finally

Have the e - version . Ms. Aaron lays out what I know I knew but so often in school and general public gets beat off us. Down to earth straight forward sharing of solid advice. In fact I re-read or listen again when I need encouragement. If you write you know we are wired a little differently and so great to find another like wired mind.
