I’m contemplating writing a book with the encouragement of my friend Amanda.  (Amanda doesn’t read my blog so I can say whatever I want about her and maybe she’s not that great of a friend after all if she neglects the quality work I’m already doing here.)  I of course have contemplated this for some time.  I think I could do it and I think I could do it well.  It’s a lot of work but what else am I doing these days?  I’m sure you all vividly recall the post a little while back about a book I read by a fellow blogger that was nothing more than a bunch of blog posts published as a book.  It was pure crap.  But if that’s all it takes, I’ve already got my substance right here.  I don’t want to be THAT girl though.  I want to create something worth reading and not just by my 3 friends and my parents.  Correction, my 2 friends because Amanda doesn’t read this. 

So in contemplating how to best go about starting this monstrosity I have decided that I need a mini tape recorder.  Anyone that knows me knows that my memory is absolute crap.  I’ll have a great idea and by the time I get to anywhere to record it, it’s gone from me.  So I need a tape recorder.  This will also enable me to record various knitting group conversations unbeknown-st to the rest of the group and use that as if it were my own creation!  I”m just kidding!  I wouldn’t do that!  Or would I?

I also need to put together an outline.  I know it must involve knitting but I don’t want that to be a main theme, just a background.  I’ve also thought about making a list of words that I really like and want to include. 

I suppose if I really intended to do this I would have put some effort into it by now.  Maybe it’s just fun to talk about!  Maybe, when I’m old and have nothing else to talk about and everyone that knows me is in a different nursing home than the one I’m in, I’ll tell all the other old people all about the book I almost wrote that would have made me rich and famous and eccentric rather than just odd.  Or maybe, since they’re all old and don’t know any better anyway, I’ll tell them that I actually did write said book and that I AM really famous.  Silly old people.
