Well, I believe that I may have written much of the first chapter (not chronologically…but the first in a group of chapters) that will become a book. The topic came to me while I was watching the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. It is going to be about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…probably minus the Lockean rhetoric. Or, if I feel all smart and stuff, I’ll add it. Just to feel as if the hundreds of dollars that I paid for the Intellectual Heritage class came in useful.
I even have goals written out for the book, and have chosen the target audience.
I’m not willing to share the copy raw, but once I get it edited to a form that will not make all of my English professors sick, I’ll share bits and pieces. I’ll probably ask some for their opinions–ie would you read this book, does it sound like a second grader wrote the book–so if you are interested in sharing your opinion and giving your advice, let me know.
I can’t believe that I actually am posting this.
I have to thank Colleen for her encouragement. She’s been kicking me in the butt about this for quite a while now.
