Lisa: my favorite source of analogies, like your use of food and sports, come from experiences that I'm reasonable sure that the audience can share with me. That's why I use things like raising kids (everyone had parents), cars (fixing, driving, etc.), and houses / apartments (acquiring, moving, maintaining, decorating, etc.).

Thanks, Jim. Good ones!
When I talk (and write) about choosing the best publishing option for a book, I compare it to taking a trip. If you don't know where you're going, how can you figure out the best way to get there?
