The Rice Scoop: Ideas are Brewing, it must be Halloween

Ideas are Brewing, it must be Halloween

I have an idea for a book. OK, I'm borrowing an idea for a book from a friend.

She titled it "It Worked For Us" and was intended just for her children. Actually for her grown children. Chapters covered a topic that they found to be true, and then she and her husband shared examples. Everything from parenting topics to relationships. Like a Yoda/Jim Gaffigan mix. Truths and humor.

Ever since I glanced through it, I've had ideas running in the back of my mind. I think it's time to start writing, even if I'm not done learning and discovering all the truths for myself.

I'll try out some chapters here on this blog as I write them. But I want some feedback, added wisdom.

Deal?
