Did you know if you put into Google “Writing a Book” you will get 1,270,000,000 results.  As much as I want to find out how to go about doing this, that number is way too intimidating.  I do need somewhere to go write, so I have  decided to throw out the bed in our second bedroom.  I will create a writing zen room ..

 

 

So I have decided to take this writing a blog thing a little bit further.  Over the last few years I have ventured on an education journey and I know that I could do more, but I want to do different.  I want to explore into another journey.  Where the heck to start.. I could write about soccer, coaching, or I do have a hint of an interest in writing a children’s book about the boy from Naples who had adventures with the Ice Cream Wizard, but eventually I decided I most wanted to write about traveling adventures.  The ice cream wizard will have to wait for now.  Over the last decades I have done a great deal of exploring of continents, countries, counties and cities .. I have a story, so now is how to tell it.  I don’t claim to be Bill Bryson, though I know I could learn a thing or two from him, so I will re-read some of his great books I barely remember, to give me some ideas.  I am not sure how it will all come together, but it will.  I have it at #1 in my hit list for 2016.

I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions, but I do believe in things to do, things to be done.  Some might call it a check list, some may say they are their goals, but for me it just means a list of things that will make my life richer, fuller and worth taking time for.

There is absolutely no doubt this will not be a book about seeing the Eiffel Tower, exploring the Australian Outback or climbing a US Skyscraper.  I have done all those things, but this book needs more depth, more stitches, falls, stories of being lost, being shit scared and saying wow.

I am going to enjoy the journey of trying to put this together.  In 2016 I will blog as it unfolds.

Happy Holidays !
