Eating the Elephant is my blog. At any time, readers may find themselves amused, horrified, thought-provoked, entertained, or any combination thereof.
“How do you eat an elephant?” my husband asked when I was wallowing in self-doubt about whether I could write, and more importantly finish writing, a full-length novel.
The answer: “One bite at a time.”
It’s a metaphor for tackling any daunting, lengthy, or seemingly herculean task.
It stuck with me through the days, weeks, months, and years that it’s taken me to write my novels.
He’s a smart guy. I think I’ll keep him.
