If you want to get that ebook or sales letter done — and you’re not afraid of using “Marathon Writing Techniques” to get the job done fast — then let me share some tips to help make writing easier and faster.

Here’s what I do when I write sales letters and ebook…

1) INCREASE YOUR CAFFEINE INTAKE — Okay, so I’m caffeine junky. I’m talking loads of it. Of course if you don’t drink caffeine currently, I wouldn’t recommend getting started.

But if you do enjoy a good cup of Jo or a soda here and there, then try using it before writing. Studies have shown that it actually increases your IQ points. And I find coffee is a great way to “oil” my mind and fingers for writing quickly while increasing my clarity.

2) RESEARCH YOUR WRITING PROJECT — Read everything you can on the subject right before you start.

If you’re creating an ebook, look at other books on a similar subject. Same with sales letters. Read all you can. Go to www.10steps-to-killer-web-copy.com and the best way to absorb it and use what you find is to read about it moments before you actually start to write.

3) NOODLE YOUR IDEAS AROUND –After researching I like to sit back and think about the subject.

And when I do, I notice new ideas that pop into my head like magic. Then it’s time to start taking notes so I don’t lose an ounce of inspiration.

4) START TO WRITE — Beginning to write for me is like dipping my big toe into a pool before diving in.

I like to start writing whatever comes to mind so I can center in on the subject. With sales letters I start working on headlines and openings. And sometimes I’ll start over a hundred times or more. It’s a warm up for writing, and it lets me try out different ways to best communicate. Same with ebook I write chapter by chapter. I get ready, start writing a chapter, and I might do it over a dozen times as a warm up. For more detail www.web-sales-letter-supreme.com I write like this until I’m like a horse eager to get out of the gate. And then I just let my writing take over — once I’m warm — and start a marathon writing cycle.

5) WRITE FAST –Writing fast does wonders for the work you produce.

By writing fast you’ll have a more continuous flow and that makes for an easy read. Sentences ideas paragraphs all blend together perfectly when you just write what you think and stop for nothing.

Don’t worry about mistakes or things that don’t seem right as you’re writing them. Just keep plugging along. Get that first draft out, let it settle, and then go back and clean it up later.

Gina @ Sand Castle Alapahas asked:


I am heavy set and although I have horses already I am looking for one I wouldn’t be afraid to ride. I was surprised to find a draft this size. Is this a normal size for this breed? I would love some info on them from someone familiar with them. I don’t want websites, I’d like real life opinions on them. Are they good for a rider who needs to regain confidence? Are they good for a heavier rider? Any info please! Thanks!
For the one who asked….I am 5′2, hence why I am seeking something low to the ground, lol…..pls don’t ask my weight! :p

Lydia K Kelly asked:


While most people are familiar with many of the pure breeds of horses, there are many interesting crossbreds. Each breed has its own benefits, and it is not unusual for people to try to get the best of both breeds by crossing them. The following are some common crossbreds and their usual characteristics.

Arabian Crosses

Most Arabian crosses are designed to refine the horse, without adding much height. Arabians are known for being highly sensitive and intelligent horses, who can be a bit flighty or silly at times. Most of the breeds they are crossed to tend to be solid citizens who could use a bit more pep. Many Arab crosses make excellent all-round horses who do well for children and for pleasure. Some make excellent dressage horses or hunters, combining the beautiful Arab movement with the solid personality of their crosses.

Some of the most common Arabian crosses include the Morab (Morgan x Arabian), the Quarab (Quarter Horse x Arabian) and the Arapaloosa (Appaloosa x Arabian). Another common Arabian cross is the Anglo Arabian (Thoroughbred x Arabian). Anglo Arabians are unlike the other crosses in that they are highly sensitive, have good height, and are excellent athletes. The cross has been so well established in France, that it became the foundation of their Selle Francais breed. Arabians also cross very well with some pony breeds such as Welsh Ponies.

Thoroughbred Crosses

Thoroughbreds are the most common horses to see crossbred into other breeds. Adding size and refinement, the Thoroughbred is an amazing athlete who generally produces crossbreds with excellent performance potential.

One of the most popular Thoroughbred crosses is the Appendix Quarter horse. Not only are half-breds accepted as Appendix Quarter Horses, a high percentages of Thoroughbred blood is permitted in the registry.

Smaller thoroughbreds are also crossed onto many pony breeds to produce pony-sized offspring with horse-type bodies. This type is highly popular in the hunter ring. Many successful ponies that near the highly desirable 14.2hh size are in fact part Thoroughbred.

Many breeders like to cross Thoroughbreds to draft horses. These crosses are lighter weight than drafts, and are well suited to riding. Many draft crosses become field hunters, but some of the more refined crosses become good performance horses.

Appaloosa Crosses

Appaloosas are hardy horses who are renowned for their unusual coloring. Some breeders like to cross other types of horses to Appaloosas to attempt to get the Appaloosa coloring on a horse while retaining the type of the breed they are crossing to. Arapaloosas are the Arabian x Appaloosa cross mentioned earlier, but other popular crosses include Pintos (Pintaloosa) and Tennessee Walkers (Walkaloosa).

A cross between a Shetland pony and an Appaloosa mare produced the colourful Pony of the Americas, now an established breed.

Gaited Horses

Some people enjoy crossing the highly popular gaited breeds, such as Tennessee Walkers, to other breeds. They try to retain the gait, but gain the size, substance or coloring of the other breed. Some gaited crosses include the National Show Horse (Arabian x Saddlebred) and the Tennuvian (Tennessee Walker x Peruvian Paso).

Other Crossbreds

No matter where you look, you will see other types of crossbred horses. Some are popular enough that breed registries have been formed for them. Others are still rare. While many breeders consider crossbreds to be no different than grade horses, others will defend their crossbred “breed”, claiming that it has as much validity as other breeds. Either way, you can find a cross of almost anything if you look hard enough.

Pesky Fly asked:


I feel quite stupid for asking this but, I have been riding English for 10 years and I took lessons once a week for 7 of those years. I currently own a TWH mare and she is a wonderful first horse, I have learned so much from her. BUT, I have always loved draft horses and I have been given the opportunity to buy another horse, I am looking at a 2 year old Percheron filly started in ground work. She is $2,300.00. I was wondering if their temperaments are very different from other horses and how much do they eat, how much do they cost to get shod?
Her price is not firm so I will not offer much as horses in our area are dirt cheap. I am in Kentucky, near Fort Knox.
