Introduction

I read somewhere once, that the book you write is the book that you need in your life right now. I have decided that now is the time to do so as I start this journey down the rabbit hole.

“I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole - - and yet - - and yet - - it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” ~Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Based on how many books are out there, I am guessing that a lot of people have it on their bucket list to write a book - I am one of those people.  I have started more than one book but never have made it very far.  I have tried both fiction and non-fiction, get overwhelmed and can’t quite figure out a direction and quit. This is yet another attempt at a book, but I feel I am in a place in my life where I need it. I am doing this for me and who knows if anyone will ever read it.

The book I decided to write would be a bit like me since I am currently struggling. A lot of her struggles would be similar to mine but at the end of the day it will be a fictional book. I am going to document the wiring projects and my research via this personal blog. So my own personal hero’s journey of self-discovery will be in conjunction with my protagonist Lila.

All the stories and experiences in this “Personal Blog” are from my perspective and how it made me feel. I can’t not read others minds, know their intentions, or understand what has influenced their actions and behaviors. There are multiple viewpoints and somewhere in the middle is the truth. We all struggle with the stories in our heads. The Fictional Book will have some similarities to reality, but I have made up the characters. Any similarities are just because I have combined various people, but no actual person is in mind.
