Zak told me I should write a book.
What a weird thought, me writing a book. It is a novel idea, though....bad pun? I would love to be able to share all my out there thoughts, all the random theories and detailed dreams with the world.
However, he didn't want me to write about my thoughts, my dreams or even my day-to-day life. No, wanted me to write about my childhood, my unexciting childhood that, for some reason, intrigues him to no end.
Me: Why are you so interested in my childhood??
Zak: I don't know! It's more how you tell the stories. You are so invested in them. It's like a 5 year old telling a story through the vocabulary of an adult
I guess I could go for that idea. It's true that my childhood experiences have shaped who I am today. It's true that I always seem to see some connection in the events of my life now to events in my life then. There is always SOME correlation.
The main problem with writing a book about these experiences is finding the REASON to tell each one. While talking to people I tell the stories because something in the conversation, or in the environment, brought back images of a time when my life was a little more entertaining.
So how do I create one of those conversations/environments? I'm still figuring that out.
