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.

I say write the book. I'm sure there would be many interested in reading what it is you would like to write. Writing the book would still allow marathon running and language learning. Add them all to your slate.
