The Book Yet to Be Written

I have thought many times about sitting and writing a book - but where to start and how to finish and what to put in the middle? :) All pressing questions that I seem never to have the time or energy to answer. It seems, for now, a blog might be the answer. No need for character development. No requirement for plot. No chapter sequence. No logical order. No slavery to grammar. No submitting myself to the judgment of editors and publishing companies. Just my words and the fun of knowing that they will at least look somewhat professional and published in their typed and ordered bloggish way. So here is the birth of my "book." Let it go where it will, but most of all, let me enjoy the process of telling the stories waiting to be on the page - simple experiences of everyday life, random thoughts on a sleepless night, the record of a heart touched by the grace this life affords me.
