How To Write A Book In 2 Weeks By: Lisa Newton Word Count: 582    No doubt, you’ve been attracted by the title, but the first disclaimer is that although this is possible, some books will take far longer. Some books may be bubbling around in your head for months (years even), and then when the time is right – you could get it all down on paper in days.

In fact, it doesn't get much more "narrowly" than what happened during DeVos' confirmation vote yesterday.

The confirmation came as a shock to the staunch opponents of DeVos, a group that was further energi...
