Writing -- Maybe a book?

So I’ve been seriously thinking about writing a book recently.  I can remember a few years back when my friend Chelsea Ribbon wrote a novel and sent copies to her friends.  I was lucky enough to find myself on that list and I remember being incredibly impressed with her.  She self published, but it was none the less an accomplishment not to be sneezed at.  I believe that book is now in the possession of a former paramour.

Lately I’ve been having some excellent thoughts that I’d like to lay down and parlay into book form.  The thing is, most of my writing is generally a stream of consciousness.  While that can make for an entertaining blog, I wasn’t sure about that particular offering as a book.  But I then realized that my most of my favorite books are just that, the authors letting their thoughts and stories fly.

This past year has been one of the craziest in my life.  Some great experiences, some not so great.  The result, however, has left me as a different person.  I still have some dark moments, nothing to get worried about. But I feel like the changes, some forced upon me, have left me a better individual.  The project is something sitting in the back of my mind and I believe I will tackle it in the new year.  Though I may end up having time over the holidays.  I already know what the book will not be.  It won’t be a novel, it won’t be a fictional story.   I believe it will be some-what autobiographical in nature.  That said, it’s not going to be a full recount of my life, but all the stories and musings will have some relevance to my life.  I think it will just be a collection of thoughts.  There are a lot of questions involving this process, how I’ll lay it out, what Stories/topics/feelings I’ll tackle. 

If anyone has any stories from our past they think should be included send the ideas my way!  Maxwellca@hotmail.com

Also, if anyone wants to pipe in with thoughts on this project please feel free to leave a comment.  Attach your name to your comment if you're not a blogger user so I know where it's coming from. 

If I feel it has any wide appeal I will attempt to have it published.  If there is no interest from publishing houses I will self publish.  Regardless, the idea has me really excited and the creative juices are flowing.
