Because I have not written it. Pat Walsh writes this in the first page of his book "78 Reasons Why Your Book Will Never Be Published And 14 Reasons Why It Might". The main reasn so many aspiring writers are still aspiring is because they spenbd all their time aspiring and no time writing. That's why it is not wise for an author to talk about what they're writing, going to write, hoping to write, thinking about writing, planning to think about maybe someday writing. Talk is cheap. Sure it sounds nice "Oh I'm writing a book." It sounds pretentious, but it makes you sound brilliant and interesting. But are you really writing? Or just thinking about that one rare day when you'll have enough time to sit and maybe plot out some plot. Most writers don't have the fire in their belly necessary to get their juices flowing.
So if I do want to finish a book I have to start one. Novel's scare me. I'm good at short stories. Sure they can relate. But I haven't done that yet.
