In reply to What does it take to write a book??, posted by pinkeye on July 2, 2005, at 23:37:47
my god, my short term memory is so f*d up that I forgot to whom i was replying. I've heard that one has to apply one's butt to a chair and use some writing instrument for long, grueling periods of time and keep on doing that for long grueling periods of time and be ready for people to s**t upon you from any height possible while you keep on keeping on. Oh, and try a library.the reference people probably can point you in the direction to take.
I myself have been urged to publish. But I myself am lazy, spiteful, vain, and tho I have a big butt, I've got the attention span of, to be kind to myself, a dog. Still a dog will really focus on food. I won't. I just pig out. Writing a book means working for the sake of an audience of one, in most cases. I prefer talking to myself and pretending that I'm a successful writer but that's probably why I've wound up haunting these boards. cockeyed
