Hi Snowbunny, love your avatar!!!
What's the worst that can happen? It won't get published! So what, you can have it published just for you and your family. My kids have had books published through their school. I say go for it.
I also had a dream - to be a great mom, happy wife, dear friend, supportive sister, favorite aunt, talented teacher, and I have been able to accomplish all of those things and feel very blessed. I worked my way through college - 2 jobs, lots of loans, married my best friend from high school, and made sure that every decision we made we made together. DH and I went to the same high school and had the same guidance counselor who told both of us we weren't "college material". Nice, huh? Well, we went to a junior college for a year, got all A's, transferred to big schools, got all A's, I started teaching and DH went on to graduate from Harvard School of Business with honors! The loans are all paid off, (ten years at over $1000.00 a month), we're living the good life, we appreciate everything that we have because we had to work our butts off to get here and hope to retire in ten or fifteen years and have a load of grandkids crawing all over our house at Christmas. We are proof that you can do ANYTHING! I've teased DH that we should go back to our high school and look up that counselor. Shame on her! How many other kids actually believed her when she said that to them? We did exactly whay we wanted to do, on our own. (And our parents weren't really behind us, either.)
So, write the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
