For the last year or two I have had this thought of writing a book. Weird, yes. Especially coming from a Community College drop out that sells cars for a living. However, before you click off the page, I should tell you I was the Sports Editor for the Community College Newspaper. See, suddenly I have a little credibility.
Anyhow, on to my book. I started thinking about it and realized the degree of effort, funding, oh and actual skill it takes to write a book were way beyond my capability. So I came to the conclusion that this, a blog, might be the way to go. It's cheap, yes, but it allows me to write as little and as often as I can. Besides, I started thinking, I have probably read 500 pages my entire life, so, unless a publisher would accept a 35 page book, double spaced with 24 point font, my book was a long shot.
The purpose of this blog is simply for me to have a place to write my thoughts on certain issues, or non-issues, as well as share the experiences life puts in front of me.
My hope is that I will put a smile on someones face every once in a while as well as a hope that someone, somewhere, nods their head in agreement with something I write down.
I am not a writer. I am not a politician and I have very little to no credibility in the world of blogging/writing. I am a car salesman, so please, take this for what it is worth.
Here goes nothing.
Hey there you go...you've got your first follower! You better write good stuff or I'll STOP following you...that's a promise!
ReplyDeleteI'm especially excited to hear about your handyman posts. Or the posts on how to get out of helping your friends with their yeardwork posts. :)
And that's why I like you Jason. In one comment you have given me at least three topics to right on. Still bitter you are busy all weekend though so I can't give you full credit.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I will give you the $10 I owe you for making a comment tonight.
Clap... clap... clap... clap clap ... clap clap clap clap... (then of course the entire audience joins in) That makes more sense in person than writing it, but I'm sure you get what I mean.
ReplyDeleteWay to go.
Excited to read more. I'm not so gung-ho I'm going to jump right on the "followers" train, but I'll give you a chance to convince me.
I totally get what you mean about the mediocre at best thing. Story of my life! OK at singing, OK at cooking, OK at sports, OK at being a mom, etc. Good for you. A writer's gotta start somewhere, right?
