That's why I wasn't sure if I'd answered it correctly. Most people usually say, "I don't know how you write a book." Those people aren't generally looking for an explanation. And yeah, it really is hard to explain-lol.Karen Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154015690643682525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-11781881169808858562010-08-20T15:29:39.331-04:002010-08-20T15:29:39.331-04:00Honestly, I don't bother to answer most questi...Honestly, I don't bother to answer most questions like that. I just give them a flip and answer and change the subject. My reason why I do this is because most people only ask those questions as a way of filling the silence. Not because they want to know.<br />However, if someone is truly curious and wants to understand writing then I make an effort, like you did, to explain how it all works.<br /><br />The interesting thing is that despite the fact that we're writers, it's still hard to explain things. <br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-75861069351673646422010-08-20T09:19:49.302-04:002010-08-20T09:19:49.302-04:00Thanks Jemi and Jennifer.

I'm glad nobody's ever asked me this question, because I'd have no idea how to answer it (I'd have to steal your answer).Jennifer Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783975547643539868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-16171578546052735452010-08-19T17:24:08.888-04:002010-08-19T17:24:08.888-04:00Terrific post!

The girl who was going my hair didn't read much, so I'm sure that was part of the reason she was so confused.Karen Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154015690643682525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503497006916245273.post-61845384608216059712010-08-19T12:12:23.623-04:002010-08-19T12:12:23.623-04:00Good answer.

Gee, maybe I'm not approachable. <br /><br />Even my kids haven't asked me that question. They write stories which we bind into books. But they never asked me how to do compose a story. Maybe that's because we're a very reading/story-telling family.Amanda Borenstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061109442550378113noreply@blogger.com
