Here’s how it happened:.We have this big bin of wood scraps sitting in the middle of our driveway right now.

All little leftover pieces from the playhouse we’ve been working on.So much project potential!.I found some of the thinner scraps and set them down on the driveway.

Then, I just broke them to the size that I wanted using my hands and brute strength.OK, the strength required wasn’t all that brute to tell you the truth.

They ended up broken either way though..

I brought the pieces inside and set them down to look like some of the apple picking ladders I’ve seen around.I’m working on a book.

that’s due out early next year, and I thought it would be fun to share some of the ups and downs of the process with you along the way.It really is kind of a long and twisty road to get from the start to the finish of the book-writing experience and I’m learning so much along the way.

There have also been quite a few surprises and some pretty good little stories too, so whether you’re thinking of writing a book, or whether you just want the chance to peek in at what it’s like, this is your chance!.One of the first things that I found really surprising about the whole book-writing thing is just how much back-and-forthing goes on before the book-writing can even really begin!
