Writing a book is at times a lonely and onerous task - many nights spent in front of the computer and notes scribbled in the local coffee shop and at the grocery store when you are hit with interesting ideas that you are afraid will fly into the ether if you don't grab them and write them down quickly. Many days, weeks and years spent writing, and re-writing, editing and proof reading, to capture and translate what is in your heart and your mind. Then, finally, the book is a reality, a concrete entity and the new task is to tell people in twenty five words or less what your book is about - so that they will be interested enough to buy it and then sit down and read it. Sending it out into the world so that it can find its way to the reader makes the book cycle complete.
