Great topic. Blogging, and by extension writing a book regarding personal feelings is a deeply difficult task. Especially if like me you are both an ego maniac and a introvert with a low self esteem. I actively blog, both for work (previously involved with Bet 365 marketing) and in a personal blog that is topic focused around marketing in the search field. I wouldn't want to at this moment in time, write or blog about my personal life, but perhaps this is because I am still too tightly wrapped and need to do some work in therapy (partly how I found this blog on google). Great site.

I've just recently found your website/blog. I must say I find you quite interesting, knowledgeable, and always seem to have something relevant to contribute. Life is about making yourself, your family and those close to you happy. You clearly have something to offer the world and have over and over again. Forget about people who think you need to write another book or somehow post redeeming qualities. Maybe, in the future you will or maybe you won't. Keep doing what your are doing. Those of us who follow are better for it.

some point, get easier. So why do we keep going? I don’t know. This
fascinates me.

I'm the same way. On all points.

I think you're too young to write a book. I mean Rock stars can write autobiographies in their late twenties because all their good years are essentially behind them. But yours aren't.

See where your company goes, see where your relationships go, see how well your children turn out and THEN you will be able to write a book with redeeming qualities.
