New Laptop

I got a new laptop and it arrived today. The FedEx guy was really sweet, he asked me if I was in school. Granted, I do look like I'm 23 years old, so I don't really blame him. I should have just said yes.

Now that I have my own laptop I don't have an excuse to not focus more on writing. 

When I was laid off a number of people told me told me that I should write a book. I laughed it off. But a number of people at my church, who know our story and our struggle, kept suggesting I write a book about our journey with infertilty. This kind of made me a bit upset. Is that all the see me as? The infertile young woman at their church?

But the more I thought about it. The more it really started to make sense.

When we were in Columbus in June, a question came to my mind. What kind of book would I have wanted to read while in the midst of our infertility journey? I did find a handful books, some of them with Christian themes and others that were not.

While I did find some helpful advice, most, if not all of them, had this kind of fairy-tale ending that just made me feel even worse about my situation.

I decided that it would be a good thing for me to write a book about our journey. Whether anything comes of it, I don't know. But I think it would be good just to write and share. It might help someone. It might not, don't know. I know it will help me to write everything out.

I panicked the other day about the prospect of having to organize my "project". I'm not an organized type of person. However, if I'm attempting to write a book, I'm going to have to learn to be organized.

This sarcastic voice inside my head said, "Its easy, just break it down in three big parts, Beginning, Middle, End". Smart@$! So I'm attempting to do that and just fill in the blanks and create an outline.

It should be fun :)
