I suck at editing (I don't edit), but I _do_ produce a lot..
   in.. short snippets anyway. So far, I've lacked the cohesion to
   put together a standard book in the standard format. If it's
   fiction, Id have to create a Universe and characters and
   settings... if it's non-fiction, Ill have to make a lot of
   FILLER.. stories from real people who were affected by the ideas
   in the book... or who DIDN'T LISTEN to the ideas in the book and
   had disasterous consequences to their lives... or some
   fantastical tale about people whose life-courses somehow meshed
   PERFECTLY with whatever idea Im trying to sell...

   Such is sell-able books. They can be compressed to their TITLE
   half of the time but they have LOTS of Joseph Campbell monomyth
   stories of Victim, Meets Impossible Challenge and becomes
   changed through the experience... *sigh*.. I know it's the
   format but man... it feels cheap.
