You have all been there at your local pub, at your literature class, your peers and relatives and god-forbid the over the hill editor who could never write his own book, but can critize till the cows come home with re-writes and horrible suggestions.

Conversation might go like this at a function cocktail party. "I would like to write a book called Gullible Guppies" and the rest of the cocktail party chips in  "yeah I always  wanted to write a book but its so time consuming and I dont think I have the patience to actually complete a book." If you can follow instructions to bake a cake you can write a book.

Zentraveler steps into cocktail party and says if any one here really, really wants to write a book I will give you the formula for free ...few people now listen?

Raise of hands can you get a large notebook, access to a computer and give me 30 minutes a day for 30 days ...if answer is yes your book is almost complete?
