4 SIMPLE STEPS...

Was sent the image above earlier tonight.

4 simple steps sounds good... in theory. It's a good way to get started, but there are a few more steps I think should be added.

Step 5: Keep writing until it's finished and meet those deadlines (easier said than done sometimes)
Step 6: Rewrite, edit, change, rewrite, cry, and rewrite some more.
Step 7: Publish (or look for a publisher, which is a whole new list of steps).
Step 8: Promote, market, huckster, promote, sell, cry, and promote.
Step 9: Repeat step 8 over and over and over again.
Step 10: Start over again at step 1 for next book while continuing to repeat step 9.

And that's how you do it.

And on that note, I have to get back to work.
