I always tell the well-meaning people who ask if I'm done yet, that while we eat books like popcorn, the process looks like this:
1- buy the farm
2- purchase seed, fertilizer, farming tools
3- plow the fields
4- plant the fields
5- irrigate the fields
6- weed
7- weed again
8- weed once again
9- harvest
10- process the kernels
11- send to the stores
Now, you can read the book.Insert thewinkingemoticon. 
J. K. Rowling is much more eloquent.

    1. I love using it for the perennial question..."When will your book be done?"

    1. I know! That's why I love my popcorn analogy. They back off for a week before they ask again. LOL!
