Paper & Pen

I want to write a book...
I know what you are thinking...How can she write a book??  She can't even keep up with her blog!  True.  Very true...

I've wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember.  My first strong memories of this are from high school.  I LOVED the required daily journal entries and was always so excited about the poetry units.  I would often sit in class and write the first chapter to my book. But once I had a first chapter, my mind would stop.  I could never express myself on paper the way I could in my mind.  Does that make sense?  See what I mean??  Towards the end of high school I thought that instead of writing a book, I should write a one-woman-act and take it on the road...traveling the world.  I mean, everyone would want to see it, right?  The answer to that would be NO.  Who was I but a girl from Baytown, Texas, on Mockingbird Lane. I scratched that idea and just performed for the mirror...kidding...sort of!!

Since Zachary's birth and our journey to "find" him, I have strongly felt the desire to write.  But still, I struggle with the same problem...can't quite get my thoughts onto paper.  So I'm using this blog (mostly read by family), to ask for a digital voice recorder for Christmas...Oh no she didn't...Oh yes she did!  Maybe I could talk into for a while and then start to get all of these thoughts out of my head.  I have an awesome idea for a book that I think would reach a lot of people.  I have the title, the idea, but not yet the words. ;)

Check back in a few years and see how my progress is going!! ;)
