I have about seven various writing projects I've started and never finished. My mercurial (another favorite word ) emotions always get in the way after a while. Well, I have two in particular that I'm really hoping for success with this year. One is an illustrated picture book that I'm attempting to illustrate myself and the other is a book that's basically a collection of vintage/novelty emails set up as a gift book. I talked to an attorney about it a few years ago and he said there shouldn't be any copywrite issues so I compiled it and have been searching for a publisher for more than two years with no success. I did some research on how to turn a blog in to a book and I'm going to try that route.

The problem with becoming a successful writer is that I don't want any of the fame or notoriety that goes with it. I am a very private person. I've managed to keep my name almost completely off of search engines and such and I don't like the thought of people being able to just "look me up". It was recommended that I use my real name on my book idea blog but I just can't get myself to do that at the moment. Going to go by a pseudonym I've used for various things for forever. With all of that in mind, maybe writing isn't the best match for me. ......sigh.
