For a long time I have considered, planned, intended, and thought about "writing a book". The problem is I haven't done it. Comes a time that considering, planning, intending, and thinking needs to be replaced with doing.

I have written a book before. I learned a lot when I did. I was noticing that on the back cover of a book by George Orwell is the publishers statement that "some books change the world. They transform the way we see ourselves and each other. The inspire debate, dissent, war, and revolutions. The enlighten, outrage, provoke and comfort. Another author, P.G. Wodehouse wrote a book called "Laughing Gas". The comments on the cover make no claims even close to what those on Orwell's book made. It says that he is a great comic writer. His words are, according to the cover comments, inventive, and his plot is good because it is complex and has sub plot and sub-sub plot. Sounds like I might have a chance. Not at inspiring debate but at being able to have a plot and sub plot and sub sub. It is all plot when I look back. Today, yesterday, and the whole year is one sub plot after another. My challenge may be to just pick a few plots and boil them all down to the sub plots within.

"Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale" it says on the cover of his book. For me I may have to change the names to better convict the guilty but it probably won't have to be stale.

Course some feedback will be critical.
