If you didn’t already know, November is national novel writing month. Meaning you have 30 days to complete a 50,000 word book. There is actually a website where you can sign up for the literary extravaganza.

Writing a book seems like a fun and challenging thing to do. Writing one in 30 days seems like more of a challenge than actually being fun. But what the heck, I have time. I’m going to change the rules a bit for myself, and ignore the 30 day time limit.

Over the past couple of years I think I have changed from a miserable person to a generally happy person. My views on life have changed drastically, and my life has improved dramatically. I’m still looking for a lot of answers, but now I am learning to enjoy the journey of finding those answers.

So that is going to be the topic of my book, how I went from a miserable corporate wanker to a happy hobo extraordinaire.

I’m always talking about “quality of life” with friends, but I probably talk to Jabari and Carolyn the most about it. Jabari and I were once stuck in the rat race of the corporate world, but are no longer. Carolyn used to work at a job where she wanted to walk out on, but now has found her real passion. Needless to say we have a lot in common.

I’m also a really good friend, it was Carolyn’s birthday the other day so she supplied the cupcakes and I ate them. But I digress.

Well, I started on my book already, and I am hoping that I have the willpower to finish it. It’ll probably end up being some sort of stream of consciousness bull but whatever. Only time will tell.
