Odisseus’ Mom

I’ve been dreaming to publish a book written by me. The story itself I believe would be a simple yet interesting one. It could be a story about me, my family, enriched by many occasions, thoughts, conversations, and opinions I have with the environment around me. I wouldn’t really care about how many people would read or buy the book I wrote, silly huh? All I want as a start is only to write a nice and simple story about me and my life.
I asked my husband this evening as we drove home, “Do you think I’m capable and qualified to write a book?”
He answered, “Yes, of course, why not?”
“What you’ve been telling in your blog, according to me, deserve to be published as a book.” he added to my question.
I smiled for having his kind and full-of-believe answer. I hope that he gave me a real objective answer, and I want to believe that he did.
I asked him that question after we stopped by at a book shop this evening on our way home. I was looking for a book of guidance about “How to tell a story” or “How to write your own story”. Luckily, I found a book written by Marion Dan Bauer “What’s Your Story?” in which I think I would get some practical guidances in starting to write my own story and book.
Don’t know about tomorrow, but I want to stick and keep fighting to the idea that I could publish my own story. Please God, help me to complete my dream.
