Therefore, to be the best seller requires commitment. For skills, quality and productivity continues to increase then the authors need to provide a special time to write. In addition, he must discipline in managing time. "Respect the time and do not like to delay the work is expected. Therefore the authors should be able to recognize the daily activities and priorities. Indeed the journey should even be used to write," says the author 30 books this scientific.
