After the fact: contemplating a book

Now that my summer of travelling has well and truly ended, I'm left here in Vermont for a few weeks before the car trip out to Utah. Numerous friends and family have complimented me on my writing in the blog, and I have been thinking about writing some articles, poems, and maybe compiling a book about the experiences I've had on the road.

This would be a pretty big step for me as a writer, since I haven't ever written anything more substantial than term papers in the last few years. I've determined to approach the writing task with a similar approach as I did the bike tour: tell a bunch of people about the wild plan I have to do some huge and daunting task, which leaves me no choice but to go ahead and do it, if for no greater reason than to keep my word.

Since I'll be spending my winter at the Alta ski resort, which provides little in the way of off-hour entertainment (aside from skiing) I've decided to take this opportunity to jump headfirst into my writing. Watch this space to find out where you can find my material. Even if this stuff never gets published, and I never make a cent, watch this space for poems, stories, and articles about the bike tour and my time in Utah.

PS- As of last week, Alta had a foot of new snow! ha!
Also, if you want to come out here and visit me and sample the best snow in the world, don't hesitate to drop everything and get the hell out there!
