Writing A Book

Behold, I have a dream! A dream of writing a book. I would really just love that.

There are a few things that stand in my way of this dream:

1) I have no topics that I feel both competent enough in and passionate enough about to use for an entire book.

2) I lack the writing skills. This blog, however, is a testament to my efforts to change this.

3) I lack the life experience. Whether I write about my own experiences, try to impart wisdom or knowledge, or even write a fiction based on my own experiences, I doubt I will have anything worthwhile to say until I am a few decades older.

I consider myself to be a writer, but a writer must be an expert in something in order to write anything worthwhile. While there are innumerable topics a person could be an expert in, there is one topic everyone is an expert in: our own life.

But a biography about a boring life is not really worth reading.

My goal is to write a book, but my other, more important goal, is to live a life worth writing a book about. Even if a book never gets written, at least I will have lived a worthwhile, productive, adventurous life.

Who knows? Maybe when I am old I will have something to say.


God bless.
