I honestly dont understand what the take away is from these articles... Lots of people communicate information in a hurried manner using a similar formula. - College students do it the last week of every semester but its called a paper - Bloggers do it all the time but its called a blog A book typically infers to most people something that has been written in a very thoughtful or high quality manner with much thought put into it (and we have many descriptors for the "lesser" forms... articles, stories, etc.) That doesnt mean you can't write a proper book in 3 days... but whats the point? - you are just likely putting yourself at a disadvantage. What matters is how impactful the book is. If you spend 3 days and its forgotten (sorry but likely based upon effort) and somebody else spends 1 year to craft something meaningful (much more likely based upon the history of literature) its pretty obvious who is creating value for their readers. These articles read to me like "hey look at me I wrote a book in 3 days"... there is no mention of what is truly unique or skillful about it. Sorry to be so negative but I just feel like this encourages the creation of pretty artificial stuff that will be forgotten in a week.
