Epiphany

Today I decided to write a book.

I will be writing it in the future months which will inevitably turn into years. Let me fill you in on how I came to this decision. I was alphabetizing novels in the fiction section at Barnes and Noble and stumbled across a book called Twenty Something around the letter H. I usually am too busy to read the short blirp on the back the summarizes the plot, but since I am a twenty something, I paused and read. The Author was a 25 year old graduate writing about roommates, dating, and work. Simple enough. Then it hit me like a lightening bolt. I CAN WRITE! Okay, maybe not well, but I can write. Maybe those A's I earned on my papers will translate into literary success. I made the decision right there that I would write a book about (my) life and travels. Writing this book isn't about being successful and making it to the best seller's list. Writing is about fulfilling a goal, sharing the little knowledge that I have, and giving a voice to a generation of twenty somethings who struggle with real life.

I then celebrated by purchasing 200 biodegradable tampons, men's deodorant, and a Costco hot dog. Life is good.
