Dreaming.

Acknowledging again that I haven't really been into blogging, I asked myself the other day Why. Somewhere in the corners of my mind I think I know why, but its something I'm not totally comfy discussing with the general company in my world, let alone the ten people who read this blog.

The truth is, I'm considering writing a book. I've been talking and talking about it here and thinking about it nearly every five minutes for the past two months. I bounce ideas off of Tyson constantly and for those who I've sheepishly decided to "pitch" my book idea to, I am grateful for their patience, thoughtful anecdotes and in general for their positive support.

In some way its almost as if writing here on this blog has now become scary and intimidating because I am coupling writing this book with just about any writing I do. And now I'm scared and freaked out.

But if I put this dream here, maybe that will motivate me to make this happen.

Alas, I need to get back on the horse. Strap on a saddle.

A book? Good for you. I will definitely read it more than once! Writing a book is on my list of 5 things as well. I agree it is scary and very overwhelming. You have much to share. Go for it!

Hey M. Wagner, um that post ruled. And I can't tell you how much I appreciated it! Runner's World nonetheless. How fitting. I'm going for it. I am. And it kills me a little to say that. Because I'm scare out of my mind. But I suppose, why not? And I can't think of a reasonable answer to that question.
