I started writing a book about a million years ago. When I tried to get it published and it was not immediately swept up by a national publisher, I lost confidence and put it on the shelf. That was eleven years ago. This is my attempt at dusting off the manuscript, and beginning to try to put my stories out there, even if they are in little bits, rather than the book I envision. I'm not giving up on the book---it will happen someday. Interestingly, I never feel nervous about a face book or blog post---I'm a pretty open person, but I have butterflies in my stomach as I put this chapter out there. Enjoy, and feel free to give me some feedback. I envision putting about 10 of these chapters together into a book someday, hopefully soon.
Climbing the Tower
William and I have decided to climb a TV tower. It’s something we’ve talked about doing for
several weeks and for whatever reason, we have decided tonight is the
night. The tower sits at the top of a
big hill, right down the road from our apartments. Usually, people climb this hill for exercise
but William pointed out that if you climb a little higher, there’s actually a
tower at the very top. He had been
curious about it and thought it would be fun to climb sometime. I told him I was game and as I now leave my
apartment to meet him, I feel incredibly excited.
