WRITE IT . . . SHARE IT . . . HEAR IT BACK

There are a lot of ways not to do something.
Like the new boat owner a few years ago who was filling up his
pleasure craft with fuel for that first time out. Only he
mistook the tube meant to hold fishing poles for the gas tank.
After completing his work he started up the engine.
The gas fumes ignited and blew the boat owner into the sky. He
came down in the drink and was rescued, but the boat was a
goner.
You can be just as creative in finding ways not to write your
novel. With a little thought and not much effort, you can
easily devise methods to prevent yourself from actually
finishing a book — or finishing a book that has a
chance to sell.
That is a rather extreme example.
