I think writing informational things like cookbooks have their own level of difficultly as well. Fiction can be left to interpretation, but non-fiction has to make sure everyone understands. I've got one cookbook in particular that I love for the ideas of the recipes. But the first time I make anything from it, I have to consider it an experiment. The instructions are kind of vague in places. I almost always make a note after making it once or twice on how to do it better the next time.
But, even still, I never saw myself as someone able to write fiction. I might utterly suck at it, but I'll give it a try because it interests me right now. Most of what I've read in the past 10 years has been non-fiction, so this should be interesting. ;)
