A story to tell

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I love looking at pictures and taking them, but I don't know about a thousand words, maybe more like 100 words! But I do have a thousand words to say and its not from some cool or funny picture.

I feel like I've always had a really good imagination. When I was young if I wasn't inside making elaborate homes for my barbies or coming up with plays and dances for my friends and I to perform, I was outside using my imagination to create any and everything. I look at some kids these days and just think, "wheres the imaginations? The fun games?" I just don't see it like I did in myself when I was younger. Even as I got older I could hear a song and come up with an awesome music video for it before the songs end. That's mainly why I don't like a lot of music videos, because I never like the outcome as much as what I came up with in my head.

So for quite awhile now I've been thinking a lot about something that I really want to do. I always pushed it to the back of my mind after thinking about it for "too long". Quite frankly I was too intimidated and scared to try and move forward with it. But after an AMAZING conversation with my husband the other night, I'm looking at things in a whole new light. We talked about my dreams and what I used to really be passionate about and want to do (talking about all this after realizing I've become an uptight, unfun chica) Zach gave me some great words of inspiration that slightly lit a fire up under my ass! So here it is, I'm finally going to right my book! Any of my friends reading this may be going "huh? she wants to write a book?" I've NEVER been vocal about this, I hardly even talk to Zach about it. But I'm going to move forward with it. I already have the type of book I want, partial characters, settings, plots and things like that. I don't want to say what its about but its going to be fiction loosely based on some real life things :-)
I know this is going to be a difficult journey.  I know I'm going to need lots of encouragement and prayers sent my way to actually follow through and complete this! But I know what I have in my mind and what I'm fully capable of so I know its going to be great!


** side note: You may be saying, ummm this girl cant spell, doesn't even know what grammar is and she's trying to write a book? Riiiiigggghhht. Remember me saying intimidated and scared? Yup, that's why. But I'll learn plenty along the way and figure out a way to get it right!**
