Ways to find ENJOYMENT in life

#1 - Write a book

About 4 years or so ago, I was just lounging around and I had this sudden thought come into my head 'I should write a book.' But then I talked myself out of it. 'Write a book?' I thought. 'I have no idea how to write a book. I don't write.' So I forgot about it. You see, ever since I was a little girl, stories have always come to my mind. I remember in 5th grade writing a story for school about a polar bear going to Florida on vacation, that's all I really remember about it, but I remember liking it. And another time when I was 12 or 13 my family and I were at my grandma's. My older sister and I were outside sitting on a swing, and Lacey told me to tell her a story. So I started telling her some story that contained me and my friends as some sort of mythical creatures on some adventure. We both got a huge kick out of it. She told me I needed to write it down. So later, I got on our computer and wrote part of it, I never finished it before our computer crashed and I lost it, which still saddens me to this day.
Then a few months ago I was on the phone with Lacey and we started talking about writing books and what not, and I told her of a story that I would like to write but I had no idea how to. She encouraged me to do it. She said the hardest part is starting. She said to just start it and eventually it will come together. So that very night, I started it. Even though I really enjoy writing it, I think it might take a miracle to finish it. And if, said miracle happens, then it will take another miracle to actually get it published. So we'll see what the future holds. So enjoyment #1, write a book, even if the only person who reads it is you.
