Last night I went to see my dad. It is a 30 minute drive and that leaves much time to ponder life – or my book in this case. It was during one of these drives that the whole book idea was originally created. Making this drive frequently in the last year has given me time to really think about making something out of my life.
The whole idea of me writing a book is very odd to my family. See, I am a Gemini – the twins. That means that I usually do two things at once and rarely finish them both. My house is full of half finished projects and I have many pages of ideas just waiting to implement. My brain is always in overdrive and I am usually one step ahead of everyone else – at least in my little world. I always share all my brilliant ideas with the family, and they usually just look at me and snicker.
When I decided to start my first blog (my personal test to see if I could even write something that people might read) my family did not share my enthusiasm. They believed it was a passing fancy and would never last the month. Well, they were wrong. Then I started my second blog and I had the same reaction. People from all over the world read my blogs and that is very exciting – a fact that I like to share with the family. (I have yet to tell them about this blog because I can hear them already – “3 blogs AND a book?”)
However, I will always be a Gemini. Maybe I have found my ‘calling’ – who knows? I sure have surprised everyone that knows me and I have even surprised myself. Writing this book just feels right to me because I do have something to share. Something that will make a difference, at least to me.
