OT: My experiment

So a couple people have kind of caught on but I thought I’d just outline the plan...

For years I’ve been asked if I was a writer and I’ve been encouraged by many friends to tell my story about the last two years of my life.

In the nine years I’ve been on the board I’ve probably written enough material to fill fifteen large books.

So why can’t I just right a book?

I dunno. I don’t have the attention span. I lack the discipline and patience it would take. And then I thought, “Hey now, what if I bang out a rough draft of something day by day on the board?

And people can leave notes or comments or questions or even just related stories.

If it flows I think it’d be a cool book to publish. Basically an autobiography and conversation with the readers at the same time. Not sure that’s ever been done.
