Write some crappy ones first. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AKenneth%20Udut [not as crappy as mine]. It gets you through a lot of the hurdles of "THE PERFECT BOOK" by getting you UP TO the very same point you'd be at IF YOU HAD written the perfect book. * Then you know what's ahead of you and the earlier parts of the process are no longer scary. For example, there's always self-publishing. http://www.selfpublishingadvice.org/watchdog-ingram-spark-vs-createspace-for-self-publishing-print-books/ - Ingram, while it has startup fees, has a huge distribution network that can go worldwide, and you can appear on bookshelves in real stores. * Of course then you'd have to wear two hats: One creative writer, one saavy business person. Or get an agent. But I don't know anything about that part yet 'cause I haven't written "that book that will change everything for everybody" yet :P
