Blogs are nice, but you can’t read them very easily while going to the bathroom or while sidling up to the swim up bar. Sadly, these are the things I care about most. To ameliorate this, I am going to write a book.
I know what you must be thinking, “Paul, you’re not that bright, whatever are you going to write about?” Fear not, naysayers, there is one thing that I do indeed know a lot about, and that is being me. I am going to write a book about my goofy experiences as a stay at home dad. I like making people laugh and want to get the word out that being a stay at home dad is a fun and rewarding experience. I am going to hit two birds with one stone and hope that both birds die. Then, I’ll sell the birds for a lot of money and use that money to put Malcolm through school. That’s the plan, anyways.
I figured I would start with the reason this blog came into our existence, our trip to Europe a few years ago. The trip was very challenging and I think will be a interesting backdrop for me to tell my silly stories. It will be a mixture of a travel memoir, foodie journal, and stay at home dad expose. If you need a frame of reference, think Jason Bourne with a toddler and an affinity for fried dough.
Why I am I telling you this? I tell you everything! This blog got a lot easier to do when I realized that I should just write about everything that we are going through. Well, this is what I’m doing! I am sure I will fuck things up in this endeavor like I do with everything else that I set my mind to, so count on reading about missteps I take down the long path to literary stardom. 
From time to time, I will write posts about the process of getting the book published. I’ll also be working on sample chapters, so some upcoming posts might seem weird. I didn’t want you to get worried that all of a sudden I had an apartment in London or was getting thrown out of French boutiques.
So that’s what I am up to today. If you want a glimpse of what a book of mine would be like, print this out and take it with you to the bathroom. Let me know how it goes.
