I keep wondering if I should write a book. What would I write? I think I'd write a semi-autobiographical book about a girl who grows up in a small town, succeeds at school and wants to be free and see the world. She goes on a few adventures, spends five years in Africa, rejects many of her mother's values and tries to find out who she really is and what she really believes. She eventually finds out that the girl she was at age twelve is who she really is. Does that mean she follows the goals her mother laid out for her? Are they her goals? What does she really want? What does God want?
Does it sound boring? The only thing that worries me is being home so much. Writing is very solitary. I have tapes that I recorded when I was in Africa. It was a pivotal time for me and for this girl. I think I'd need a hand-held tape recorder, so I could go for walks and record my thoughts.
Hmmm.......
Maybe I should try it.
