You’re a fantastic writer, and it’d be wonderful to read a book by you. I dunno if this makes you feel any better, but people who have half your writing skills have written books that I’ve wasted time reading and I’m pretty sure have actually lost brain cells from their stupid ideas that are now embedded in my head. So yeah. This is all to say: write a book. Go for it. Abso-friggin’-lutely. I cannot wait to read it.

Do. Just start writing and it will come together in the right way almost on its own. And with the help of a good editor…

I can’t think of anyone better suited to writing a book – especially a food memoir – than you! And there is most definitely an audience out there. I often read a blogger’s post in which a family recipe is accompanied by a personal anecdote, and more often than not, the comments contain a message of thanks that a memory was shared or a recounting of their own experiences. We love reading about each others histories because we recognize aspects of ourselves and families – change out the names and events, and it’s as if we’re reading our own stories!

I do hope you’ll move forward with this. I must confess that I also would love to write a one although the idea that I’ve been germinating falls wholly under the category of ‘lighthearted chick lit’.

I’ve been waiting years for the very book you describe. You taunt with your short, amazing stories but they’re only tiny tid bits! Now put us out of our misery and bring on the main course… Please?

I’m a little sheepish because this was kind of a whiny rant, but thank you so much for your support. I can’t even begin to tell you how comforted you make me feel.

Noema: thanks for the rec! My plan is to devour as many food memoirs as possible to look at different writing styles. P.S.: Is there a translator for your beautiful blog? 7 years of Spanish and I still can’t read it to save my life.

Pearl, you’re a beautiful writer, please continue with it. You’re in a neighboring county, so we should definitely meet up one of these days.

Alona: It was great to meet you, please keep in touch! I’ll be checkin into your blog from time to time!

Well put, Cynthia! As a Greenbrier attendee with the same goal in mind, I can absolutely relate!

You know I love food and a book about food, written by you, will be on my shelf. G’luck with the process!
