I like haggis though and I'm sure nothing horrid goes into it (I hope), or I wouldn't eat it. I would add one more - just as the consumer has no idea what they're eating; a reader can enjoy writing without knowing what's going to happen on the next page. Great comparison Joanna.

I certainly had fun writing it. We'll need to do something about the reputation of the haggis... it's actually pretty nice. Served as a dish in a lot of smart restaurants in Scotland and sooo good with neeps and tatties! @Robyn, indeed you would! I think I might have mentioned this to you before, one of the things I find interesting about my podcasting experiment is that the challenge to come up with five tips in under five minutes once a week acts as a real spur to my creativity. I look about me more for inspiration from what I'm doing, what I'm seeing, the time of the year and it's fun to work out the writing lessons from them. I don't know which of my intelligences this is but I'm certainly enjoying stretching it :-) @--Deb, I'll have to keep working on you re the haggis! And maybe you can explain the lutefisk to me - it's a new one on me... @ Michele Thanks :-) I find it lots of fun to work out the writing lessons from an everyday activity and cooking seems to work particularly well. I did a post once before on plum chutney which was entertaining (well to me anyway!) Joanna @Brad, I’m glad you liked it. I certainly had fun writing it.
