Q: How do you write a book?
EG: I don’t know. Once I asked my Grandma how to bake a pie. She showed me all the steps. Then she said, “Once the apples are battered, pick them up, hold them in your hands and if they still feel heavy, they’re not ready.”
To which I said, what the heck does that mean?! I think writing is like this. There’s no precise recipe to follow. I...

Advice from Elizabeth Gilbert
ginnygal:

2. Do what ever you can to make money. ...
