So... you want to write a book...

Today I revealed to a friend that I wanted to write a book this year. Lofty as this goal seemed my friend, A, was genuinely supportive and, as luck would have it, happened to be a journalism major in college. Her first suggestion: writing daily. I've really gotten out of the habit of writing more than a text message or a Facebook update. I'll be honest... I think this step is pretty crucial for me! In order to hold myself accountable I am blogging. I keep a notebook in my purse so I can write when I'm not near a computer... in an emergency... but for the time being I am hoping that this keeps me on track... even if no one else in the world ever reads it. (In the spirit of honesty, that MAY be better because right now I have Scooby Doo in the background, a truck yelling "Let's get ready to rumble!" that my son is smashing with Wack-a-mole mallets.) So here goes nothin'! I am certain that what I've proposed is the equivalent of running a marathon without so much as running a lap around the track first, but that's how I roll. Let's get those creative juices flowing!
