“Eating the Elephant” is the title of my blog

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.
