Goal #1: Write a Book

I want to write a book. There, I said it. It's been a desire of mine for a little while now but I didn't want to say anything. Once you say something you can be held accountable for it, people expect you to do what you say. I want to write a book. There, I said it again. Now I definately have to do it.

Being a detailed person I am a bit overwhelmed at the thought of writing a book and all that is involved in such a bold undertaking. I don't have a subject yet (maybe fitness, relational leadership, something churchy) a length requirement (50-500 pages??) or a publisher. I don't even know how to write something interesting. But I think there is something inside of me that wants to make its way out onto paper. And no, not on toilet paper.

So, the goal is to complete it in my thirities. Think it's possible? I don't know. I have 3,645 days left after today. Seems like enough time. I probably need to read up on the process, take a class or do something along those lines. I like to think I have the potential/aptitude for it. Actually, I know I do, but the thought still kind of makes me nervous. But, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..." right? Let's put it to the test, since He is the one who probably put the desire there anyway.

How about you? Is there something you have always wanted to do but haven't for whatever reason? Like learning an instrument? Going back to college? Visiting a foreign country? Starting a non-profit company? Becoming a tax consultant?
What is inside of you that needs a kick in the pants to get going? Go for it. Try it. See what happens...
