I Need an Idiot’s Guide

So I’ve finally started writing my novel again. I only have a handful of pages so far, and even those need refining, so the amount of work in front of me is somewhat discouraging. I just need to take it a day at a time. The only way it will ever get done is if I keep plugging away at it—big, shocker, I know. In an interview with Amelie Gillette of The A.V. Club, p. June 7th, 2006, comedian Lewis Black contended that “Anybody who likes writing a book is an idiot. Because it's impossible, it's like having a homework assignment every stinking day until it's done.” Though it’s early on, I already wholeheartedly agree with this assertion. Guess it’s a good thing that I’m a nerd. And perhaps, an idiot.
