[Ipg-smz] Gene Weingarten: How to throw the book at writing a book - The Washington Post

[Gabe Goldberg]

Weingarten says:

For the past six years, I have been working on a book. It is about to 
come out. So I think I am well positioned to offer some helpful “tips 
for authors.”

1. You will come to hate your book. Accept this graciously as a natural 
consequence of having had to read it 5,000 times. Example: I am a guy 
who absolutely requires reading material when on the pot. The other day 
I looked around before going to the bathroom and all that was 
immediately available was my book. I let it lie and instead read the 
contents of my wallet.

...

10. If at all possible, don’t ever write a book.
