Many years ago, I took the family out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal, the server brought the bill and some fortune cookies. I don’t put a lot of stock in fortune cookies as a guide for my life, but I read them anyway. Mine read, “You have so many stories, you should write a book.” I chuckled and laid it on the table, then paid my bill and left. On my way home, I got to thinking of my childhood and some of the fun things we did as teenagers. I actually did have a lot of stories. That evening I began to jot some of those stories down, as I did, I began to smile and then laugh at some of those crazy antics. I compiled nearly 100 of the those stories and several months later compiled them in book form and put them on Amazon. I enjoyed writing so much I wrote several more over the years and now I write travel books. My travel books go a step farther, in that I use the friends I travel with as characters in a story about the places we travel. |
