Writing a book is by no means a simple task, and you should not, under any circumstance, write a book and lessen the chance of my book, my far superior book, being published. However, I will share with you these, the Ben Brown Secrets of Book Writing, because I think you will enjoy getting a brief glimpse into the mind of a literary genius. First and foremost, you have to know that plot is your enemy. Plot wants your book to end. Plot wants to go forward and make things happen instead of filling out chapters with useless details and descriptions of things like coffee machines and elevators.
Nobody cares about plot.
Stop writing plot and write about something else. Write about shoes. Write about cigarettes. Write about how when you were in highschool, you dated this one girl who you thought was really great, but she ended up being a lesbian. Write about anything that does not get your characters anywhere closer to their final destination.
