I am going to write a book. Its one of the few things on my bucket list.

I used to love writing, especially at school. Did the usual dark teen angst poems. I guess I could probably tick my brain over to lighter things now. When I had to write monthly articles for an association I was part of, my articles would always be too long because I had lots to say.

Just had a thought! Just because I have lots to say, it doesn't mean that people necessarily want to listen (or in this case read)....

I don't want to write a novel, I don't have a story in mind. I guess it would fall in to the category of cookbook ("oh, here we go" you probably all think), but I just want to make a record of the things from the few women in my family. From my Great-Aunt, to my Grandmother and my Mum. A collection of family recipes, traditions (HA!- we don't have any, but some ideas maybe), down to earth living, things like that. ?
Chances are I will never be published, but I'm not concerned about that. Well, not commercially, but there is nothing to stop me getting it printed. I can be my own publisher, can't I? The book isn't really for anyone else but me and my family if they are interested in my thoughts. Perhaps I'll get shy and embarrassed and keep it secret?

Anyway. Rambling on there. Guess I just wanted to tell my little secret. Am I being silly? Nah.... Am I? Am I setting myself up for a disappointment if I don't commit to this? Thanks for all your opinions friends.
