This week's Saturday Essay was inspired by a comment posted by Maizer B. in response to Dec. 8th essay "So you want to write a book?". "What if I don't have anything that you're talking about?" Great questions lead to inspiration!
-- What if I don't have everything?
-- Where do I start and what do I do?

A Beginners Guide to Writing a Book
How to take what you don't have and make it work
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
In addition to intimidation, many beginning writers fear failure. It is a reasonable concern. You are entering a competitive business (writing), and you are competing with experienced writers. What you have, however, no other writers have! You have a unique perspective, an exclusive point of view, and a distinctive way of looking at things that nobody else in the world possesses. Even the way you will put your ideas together and the words you select to express them will be totally idiosyncratic — unmatched by anyone else.
