It's mainly about my life as a PK or Pastor's kid for the laymen. It's really coming along. When I started it about a year ago, I just bought a small notebook for a dollar at Wal-Mart and planned on writing some poetry. But I had a story to tell. I really don't know if anyone will care or buy it when it gets published (notice my positive outlook) but I know that there are hundreds if not thousands of PK's who are starving for a story they can identify with.
Hopefully this will be the answer to that. The thing that may be cool about it is that there are so many PK's who grew up in a home like mine, with a regular dad as a pastor at a small church in a small community. I'm hoping that this will be fresh and revealing kind of the way Blue Like Jazz opened my eyes.
I will post updates on how my book is coming along. As of now I am writing a proposal for a large publishing company and I hope they say, "Man, this guy is awesome. Let's pay him millions to write more. We need more!" Ha.
