I am writing a book. Or at least trying to. I have never done this before. A friend of mine who has done this many times sent me this card the other day. On the inside he wrote “it’s just like putting up an A-frame, except – trust me on this one – without a ‘helper.’” That makes me feel better in that it has helped me to think of a complicated task being broken down into multiple relatively simple tasks.

Of course, if I was any damn good at building anything I wouldn’t be a writer, so we’ll see how this works.
