At lunch this week, "Lucy Bernholz":
http://philanthropy.blogspot.com explained that blogging was her way of procrastinating from doing a bunch of things on her todo list, including a bunch of writing. The irony, she noted, was that she probably wrote at least a book's worth of blog posts during that time.
In her observation lies the kernel of truth that stayed in my head--how does a book get written?
One word at a time.
Just the same way a blog gets written.
