Finally.. a book

I cannot hardly recall the number of English teachers who have told me, almost demanded me, to write a book. I have thought about it for a very, very long time, juggling several ideas in my head -- fiction or non, exaggerated or serious, pain or happiness... Then, it hit me -- none of that matters. The reason for writing is not for pleasure on behalf of the reader, it is purely for the gathering of my thoughts, memories and beliefs. Memory is such an important aspect of life, and yet it seems that mine is lacking. I have noticed that deep thought and concentration often brings out those past events, but I have been searching for a reason to remember. Why should I remember what has past when so many new things are to come? The answer is simply, because I can. If I have the ability to write now and years from now be able to re-read... what a joy to have.

So I am writing a book. Will it be published, I highly doubt it. Will anybody actually read it, I doubt it. This will be my way of writing in a journal. I have never been able to write with no significant purpose (such as in a journal). But writing for the purpose of writing a book -- now, that is something to look forward to.

You probably won't see much from what I will be writing for a long while. But if you ask, I will gladly tell you my progress -- and I ask you now, while I am actually excited about this process, to remind me.. and push me to write. I'm sure that this so called 'writer's block' will come. I'm sure that there will be weeks in connection without a single new word added. But with a bit of encouragement, and a bit of motivation, I have no doubt that I will get it done.

I know that most of you are probably wondering the actual subject of the book. But I assure you, each and every one of you knows the subject very, very well.

I will post snippets from certain chapters from time to time, but for the most part, the majority of the book will be kept privet until I am completely satisfied with the content. Now, I must go on to Chapter 1.
