Untitled Book Project by Abby Thomason.

(The view was better than this picture depicts, but it was difficult to take a good one with a phone.)

Today I went and got coffee with a friend at a local coffee shop with a great view of downtown Kansas City. It was pretty perfect afternoon - beautiful view, good coffee, perfect weather, great conversation…

One of the questions my friend asked me was, "If you were to write a book, what would you write about?" I told him a little bit about my blog and how I like to write about the little things in life that I notice and appreciate. So if I were to write a book, I would write one with each chapter dedicated to a different thing that I love. He asked me what the first five chapters would be, and it made me think… I've been thinking all night and I think I've come up with my answer. So I thought I would share it with you all as well.

First Five Chapters of Untitled Book Project by Abby Thomason:

Chapter 1. Benches. I feel like my love for benches is a perfect example of me loving something random that most people don't even notice. It would be a good way to start off the book.

Chapter 2. Trees. Bares trees. Green trees. Leaves from trees. I love them all.

Chapter 3. Driving with the windows down. There are few things that can improve my mood as quickly as windows down driving. I don't have a good explanation of what - but I can tell you I love it.

Chapter 4. Light. What? Light? Seriously? Yes - there is something beautiful about sunlight shining in a room. I savor it every time.

Chapter 5. Baking. Sure, a lot of people like to bake, but I'm not sure that everyone views it the same way I do. I like the way batter looks in the mixer. I like it when cupcakes come out perfectly peaked. I like the way spices look in a bowl of dry ingredients. It's weird - I know. But if I did my job right, I could maybe write and make you love it too.

My pseudo-grandma Lois has been encouraging me to write a book for a while now. So I know that if I were to ever write a book, I'd at least have one sale. :)

Other Possible Chapters:
-Boats
-The color mustard
-Bendy straws (yep, I said it)
-Wedding receptions
-A nice pair of sunglasses
-Icebreaker questions
-the list could go on forever...
