I’ve wanted to write a book since forever. It doesn’t even matter what kind of book. A children’s book. A romance novel. A Jewish book of Torah ideas. A strange book that is some combination of all the things I enjoy- magic, fantasy and Tanakh-that appeals to no one but myself.
Writing is like art. At first it may look like splashes of paint that don't come together, but eventually the artist amends, perfects, adds and detracts until a beautiful image appears. Writing is not supposed to be perfect at first. The only way to create the portrait is to start with putting your ideas on paper and slowly perfecting as time goes on. For those who can never do enough research, it get's easier when you already have the base knowledge on paper and you don't have to focus on every aspect at once. You can then research or analyze specific sub-issues further until you are satisfied. Takes time, but it's worth it.
your blog here is powerful and truly great. thank you. if you write a book i would love to buy it. your thoughts matter, your voice changes peoples minds, you have impact. please write.
So Much Fear
I hope you will try to write the book. I so value the conviction you bring to writing and talking about what needs to be talked about.

Just my two cents.
(I would read any of those kinds of books!) (And, you might be interested in this word camp offering https://www.nicoleantoinette.com/groups)
