First Post

I , like I am sure many other people, have this crazy idea that I will write a book one day. My crazy idea started when I was in college in 1989. My freshman year I had this English teacher. She was in her 40's, she was in the Peace Corps. and she wore mini-skirts. How cool was this woman? Our assignment was to write a story about a factual life event. Considering my life was rather boring I made my whole story up! This teacher was fascinated by it. Told me she cried when she read it. Had me read it to the whole class. They applauded! So there it was, my first inkling that maybe I could write something that people would be interested in. Later I found out my teacher was smoking weed with some of the boys in class, so it took away most of her credibility, but I'm still holding on to my crazy idea. Until then, this blog may be the closest I get to it.
