#193: Write a book proposal

I had this on my list because I've often wondered if I could write a book. You know what they say, "Everyone has a book in them". When I started this year, I didn't really have any idea what this hypothetical fictional book would be about or if I even had a story in me that people would want to read. I worry that even if I do have a book in me, that that's where it should stay: within me.

Since I started writing this blog, however, I've had some amazing and humbling feedback including many suggestions that I turn it into a book or screenplay. I'm not sure it deserves that or even if I'd want to use something so personal as the basis for a story, if not the story, but it has given me some food for thought. My gut says I should just let sleeping dogs be, writing a book proposal is different from publishing a book.

Let me know if you think this is a good idea or not. Personally I'm on the fence...

    I love your blog and I thing you should try to write a book with your experience about how to move on, forgive and forget an ex boyfriend. Happy New Year, all the best, good luck and have a nice day!

    I started reading your blog today and I agree, it would make a great book. You took your time to move in, find yourself and have fun. Write the book before someone else does... :-)

    I just started reading your blog today and yes, you should write a book. You have a great story of taking your time to find yourself, moving forward - break up, forgiveness, transformation and true love. The true love - self love. Write it before someone else does.... Happy New Year!

    I think you should write a book about your experiences... it would make for a good movie, too. I would go see it! Good luck and best wishes!
