Is it Really That Easy?

Now, before you object to my saying writing a book is as easy as following a recipe, let me clarify:
1) Writing a book takes a good deal more time than making a chicken casserole.

2) You don't need to write it all at once! (This one is important!)

3) If you are really good in the kitchen, you'll find that writing is a bit more challenging than whipping up supper. But not much.

4) If you can follow a recipe, you can write a book.

5) Even if you make a meal worthy of the Food Network, it will be gone shortly after it hits the plates.

6) A book doesn't get eaten and unless you lean on your delete key, you'll have more to start with every time you sit down to work.

Sound good? Sound possible? Sure it does! Let's get to work!
