I have made a couple of attempts to write a book...and learned that it is very difficult for me to combine together enough words to complete a book. My attempts turned into novelettes and I was far from satisfied with the results...so I did not make an effort to get them published. If I had more patience I probably could complete a book but it would not be the "great American novel" and would not make much money or garner much fame so I will not do so.

I remember one famous American author who was interviewed on the Carson show and he was asked how he went about writing a book. He was asked do you have an inspiration and then sit down and begin writing. He said no...that if he waited for inspiration...he would never get a book written. He said that he would sit down and begin writing and at the end of the day he would have written crap or possibly something worthwhile to be added to his novel...and stated that he did not find much joy in writing..but found it to be work.
