I think all readers secretly wish they could write a book. When I was in college, I thought it would be hilarious to write a coffee table book called Book of the Obvious. It would include a truly captivating list of commonly used phrases like “I hate Mondays” or “It’s raining.” I can say with confidence that this is the worst, most boring book idea I have ever heard. I am pretty sure I dropped the project before filling even one measly page in Word. Apparently the plan was to have the illustrator do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Needless to say, I pity the poor editor that will have to turn these rambling blogs into a cohesive, interesting and readable narrative. But I’m sure they will get a generous cut of my riches.
