I'm a big proponent of book-writing. Really think anyone can do it. But there's a daunting psychological hurdle of wanting to be absolutely correct with 42,000 words.
Not sure that's even possible.
I wonder if writing a book of lies would be a more attainable goal. It'd be more interesting, that's for sure. What if you were allowed to write a book that wasn't 100% true, but full of inaccuracies?
I think more people would write books then.
They have those books Ben...they're called fiction! :) I know you're not down with the non-non-fiction...but with your imagination, I bet you could pen a scorcher!

That's easy, just ask Anne Jackson - mutual friend and author of Mad Church Disease. Come on ----church staff getting burned-out -- We all know that her book is fiction (insert loads o'sarcasm here).

It'd be cool if chapter headers said something like, "This chapter is a load of @#$%&." I could make it through my reading list much quicker that way!
