What am I thinking??

So after many many promptings, about three dozen friends telling me to do so, and an itch I cant scratch, I have decided to endeavor writing a book.
I know, weird huh? I have been feeling very strongly about it for the last three months so one day I sat down and started writing. It was really weird. The story started flowing from me and I went back and read it and didn't even remember writing half of it. I'll admit though, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm trying to learn a little along the way. Which I surprisingly have, and on top of it all it has been really fun and interesting to learn it! Who knew?? I never would have dreamed that I was capable of such a thing.
So my story will be "My Story", the story of me. I thought it would be a good place to start. I have quite a tale to tell and who knows, someone else might want to read it too...But I wont care if anyone ever decides to pick it up. This is for me and my kids if they want it.
It has so far, been a really cool experience and I'm learning more about myself every time I sit down to the computer. An added perk is that I'm getting some closure on some of the things that were pretty traumatic to me. But it is strange, I feel inspired to write all the time, and when I have to stop I cant wait to get back at it. I wake up in the middle of the night and scrawl ideas on a notepad in the dark that have occurred to me in my slumber, and I'm remembering details that I thought were buried forever.
So if I'm bad about updating my blog, you will understand why. Who knows how long this process will take. Maybe Ill never get it done, but its really FUN!
