Write a book
It has been said that in our lifetime everyone should write at least one book. To quote one such thinker I looked to google and found: For those who don't know Jodi Picoult is an author who wrote a bunch of books that turned into movies, ie My Sister's Keeper with I think Cameron Diaz, not that I actually watched it. I say all of this because I am 30,000 words into my own book. That may sound like a lot. Because it is, but it really really isn't. Did you know that the average 400-page book is 100,000 words long. I didn't know that. You know why? Because no one ever mentions that part. Or the fact that the majority of the things you write will feel like crap and a good portion of it actually is. In the grand scheme that 1000 words about a perplexing goldfish that has nothing to do with any of the characters or the plot will mean absolutely nothing. At the time though, that goldfish will feel like the only thing that ever mattered in the entire universe....
