I enjoyed this article by Kate Wagner. Some good, solid advice on writing an essay that should stand the test of time. Could easily apply to writing a book. And the ‘writer’s block’ advice is definitely worth trying. www.late-review.com/p/some-essay...

In English, if you're very hungry you could say "I could eat a horse." A Polish phrase that goes even further is zjadłbym konia z kopytami, which means "I could eat a horse with hooves." And an old phrase about being hungry from Aussie slang is "I could eat the crutch out of a low flying duck."
