How To Eat The Elephant: Build Your Book In Bite-Sized Steps
Book Description
Have you (and your friends) grown bored with all of your highly imaginative excuses for not writing that book?
Are you finally ready to turn those clever cocktail napkin ideas into something tangible?
Eager to become an ass-kicking, gets-things-done author?
Then there's only one thing left to do...BEGIN!
Straight talking, funny, and brutally honest, How To Eat The Elephant will give you--yes, you--the shove you need to haul your rump off the sofa and position it in front of your computer.
Paralyzed by the enormity of such a project? Well, you won't get any sympathy here. But you will get all the tools you need to chunk the writing process down into bite-sized pieces.
Terrified by the prospect of public embarrassment and failure? What. Ever. How To Eat The Elephant will guide you, laughing all the way, through the minefield of revision and publication.
