I was minding my own business yesterday, typing away happily on my MacBook whilst enjoying a strong black coffee courtesy of my local Starbucks, when an elderly gentleman came and sat opposite. Having paused to edit a paragraph or two, the man asked if I was writing a book. Having confirmed I was writing a novel, the man smiled and said: I was a builder for over thirty-five years, writing a book is similar to building a house. Why is it similar? I asked. Because I used to build houses from the foundation upwards — and I put all my money into them, not to mention my time and all my efforts. I didnt receive a penny until the house was sold. I guess you are the same when you are writing a book; you get nothing back until you have finished? Yes, I replied. And then the real work begins: You need to find a publisher. What a great analogy — writing a book is like building a house! rupertfox.blogspot.co.uk/
