so, I want to write a book and have it published, what is so big about that? oh, the fact that writing a book and havign it published is huge! or, deciding on what that book would be about … or perhaps, trying to find someone to actually publish a book written by a midwesterner transplanted to the desert … All these details have derailed my goal because the whole package is just so big, I get overwhelmed. Life has become about breaking down the big things into bite-sized pieces of “non-freaking out” nuggets. I do want to write a book, I do want to have it published, but what do I want to tell the world? what is so important for me to share? this is where my exploration needs to start … perhaps I will run into the answers …. perhaps I will simply sit down and just start writing and see where it all goes.
