I think about this from time to time. Not just since I retired, but more so now of course. The intriguing elements are that I like to write, and it would give me a project and a sense. of accomplishment if I ever pulled it off. On the downside – not sure I am a good enough writer, and then there’s the question of what to write about!
Could I write a novel? seems like a long shot for me as I don’t have a clear idea on a topic. Could I write a novel set in Maine, where I have a love of the setting? Every time I read a really good novel, however, I marvel as the writing. Not sure I could construct a sentence as elegant as those…
Then there are the non-fiction topics. A business book? A book about sales? (i know a lot about that), a book about myself and the family (who would find that interesting? maybe not even the other 5 Steinharters).
And so my uncertainty goes on. but I’m gonna keep thinking about it. Sometimes it just takes time for an idea to percolate, ya know?
