Oddly enough, after facing some catacalysmic days nearly 3 years ago up until about 6 months ago in various areas of personal and work life, my life is now at a point of continued interest. What I mean is having made various choices that caused much disruption in all aspects of my life I am now at a place where work is going well, my family life is going well, and my spiritual (however this is to be defined) life is going well.
There are a number of options that now lay before me. I could write a book, do schooling on the side, learn a new language, run a marathon, etc. but to be honest I kind of want to do all of them. What to do first is the big one for me. I am running regularly again and will aim for a half to full marathon in October. I think schooling on the side right now may not prove wise due to time and money. Learning a new language would be fun and keep the brain active. The one I wish I was able to do is the book. I have so many thoughts in my head but I am unsure which book to write. There is the auto-biographical narrative I have started but it seems daunting. It began as a concept surrounding my decision in 'Leaving Evangelicalism' but I am wondering if I would be better served in separating the concepts or simplifying my original idea into a more focussed auto-biographical narrative with fewer themes then I was originally intending.
Instead of writing the great American novel perhaps I should simply attempt a simple novel. Anyway, because I have never done this I am struggling with process and structure.
What is nice is having a clean slate to work from.
