I think I'll write a book. I see people on TV all the time. They've written books and seem to be selling them, being invited to talk about them, enjoying people's commentary (good and bad). Oh sure, some of them have had amazing experiences to bring to the table, but others are just writing their opinions about things. From women's power or powerlessness to various incidents of success and failure to critiques of everything from war to table manners, I've seen it all lately. Do I have something to say and could I say it well enough that people might want to read? Heck yeah. With all the options in cyberspace, I've toyed with Facebook where I like to stay positive, created three blogs (ambitiously), and have now become quite the little tweeter. Yes, I have some things to say. I'm twisted and encouraged, troubled and inspired, moved and disgusted about a wide range of subjects. How do I capture that in a single book? How interesting might a book of essays be? I'd rather corral all my swirling, erratic, spontaneous ramblings into one continuous stream. I suppose I could just call it And Another Thing. Okay, off to see if anyone has used that title. (Official pause) Well, someone has used that, so I think I'll try But..., but I'd have to give a nod to Dr. Phil who says "What follows "but," is what you really mean." Exactly, Dr. Phil. That's what I want to say. Hey, this seems to be working out for me. So, I could keep talking and thinking about it, or I could just begin. I choose BEGIN, but first I'll get a warm up on my coffee. (Did you catch the irony there?)
(Note: I actually have started writing, and I'm posting some "chunks" in my blogs, especially in "Since When and Who Said...")
