Random musings

Writing a book is like selling a house. Everyone has an opinion on what you need to do to make it sell faster, but the truth of the matter is that you only need to fix the foundation, the rest is trimming. In the book world this means to beef up your writing, learn the skills necessary to make it in this business, but filter out the things that don't help you. There are a lot of ways to write a book and what works for one person might not work for you. You have to decide. Just b/c your favorite writer does things one way doesn't mean that you should too. You have to decide what will work best for you.

You don't want the comparison to the house. :)

I love your analogy. There are a lot of similarities between selling a house and a book. Both difficult and require a certain measure of luck.
