Writing is tough
Since I got back I have been slowly working on typing out Ryan and my adventure in book format. It is not an easy job, but I really want to finish it. I think if the trip taught me anything about myself, its that if I really want to do something, I can. And right now I really want to write a book. Not to make money, because it likely won’t, but instead because I feel as though the trip is worth being written about. I had such a unique and wonderful time over those six months, and I am sure Ryan did too, and I think what we did, and what we learned deserves to be shared and documented in something tangible and accessible. Whether people want to read about it is a whole other story.
So in my free time, I am typing away, and often times what comes out is quite poor, just like these blogs here. However, my goal is not to write a great book, I think an editor or if need be a ghost writer can do that, so instead my goal is just to write a crappy book. That really takes the pressure off for me when I think of it like that. I imagine a lot of people get stuck writing cause they want it to be great, but if you are willing to overlook that, you can get a lot more done. It is still challenging, but I am glad I am trying this.
