Scott asked Lara Lillibridge:

When you family's commitment to following paths Frost would describe as less traveled did interest your fiends and colleagues, however, you actually sat down and wrote the book they suggested you should! Still, the number of people who are told something similar about their own lives who did write their story down is a small club. How did you get from the notion of a book to a published book?

Lara Lillibridge I think the difference between people who are told they should write a book, or who tell themselves that someday they will write a book and the people who actually write books is a passion for the act of writing. Everyone has a story worth telling. The rewriting and editing and pitching and advertising is something you have to really enjoy doing in order to take a first draft to a finished product—or, if not enjoy, at least have the patience and fortitude to survive the process.
