write

 I've had so many in person conversations lately about my writing. Everyone seems excited that I'm writing again, and so am I. It feels good to get everything out of my head and on paper. I'm finally putting words on my feelings again, and I love it.

I've also decided that I want to write a book. 

This is the part where you get really excited because you think "A booK! About her life! A LONG BLOG!?" Just kidding, I know you don't think any of that, but you should. Actually, you shouldn't. Because the book I'm going to write isn't anything that I've ever written before. And I can say that with confidence (which is something I typically can't with my blurry brain) because it's going to be fiction.

In my house, she's called Memphis Nikki (which I just realized is hilarious because she doesn't even live in TN). On Instagram she's called @nikkihodum. She's the most amazing, supportive, and encouraging friend one can have. And, she's an author. 

I'm in a Two Person Book Club with her. That she created. I promise, I love it.

There is no way to start this next sentence without sounding like Dr. MLK, Jr., but it's based on a dream I had. I'm writing this post because I want to look back at it when I'm done writing the book and say "Look, you wrote this without knowing one bit of what the story was about." Because I don't. I have a simple setting, and I'm going to go from there. One word at a time. 

I'm also terrified that I won't do it. I mean, it's pretty official putting it on the website that I own, for the world to see, but I think I can handle that pressure. 

And if you want to know how this story goes, you're going to have to read the book.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
