Now that I have an idea, if I want to move on and do something I need a schedule. And especially because this won’t be (and economically cannot be) my prime and only interest, I need it, to fit everything in… Or at least, trying to fit everything in my life!
This is the schedule I came up with…
July 2008:
by the 15th, draft of the table of contents, without a recipe list but with a minimum recipe number
by the 30th, list of all the recipes, with title and 1 line description
August 2008:
by the 10th, answer to the 3 basic questions: why me? Why now? Who cares?
by the 30th, write at least 3 example recipe, tested and photographed
by the 30th too, layout of a sample recipe page, a text page and title page (for the latter, layout without a picture, which I’ll choose among all the book pictures)
This is very interesting as I am motivated to write a book (not a cookbook) but really find it hard to get started. I will follow your project — maybe it will inspire me!
Good luck!
