1. 2. 3.4. I have spent 25 years longing for an orange sofa. Not rust. Not pumpkin. Orange. And now I own one. Actually, I ordered one. It will arrive in a few weeks. If I make it that long. The waiting is killing me. Let me tell you, as someone who rarely spends more...Read More

atheist parenting I can't decide if this is a ridiculous idea or not, but I've decided to write a book for atheist parents. Does that sound crazy? Are there just too many books like that? Do I have anything at all to say? I don't know. I know that the cool thing to do is to work on it and mention it just as it's about to be published...I'm not that cool. There is nothing like writing to make you quite certain that you, actually, shouldn't be writing. Sorry for the crude metaphor but it's like hanging your ass out of the window and hoping that someone would pay to see it up close. Writing is such a vulnerable thing. Even writing a blog like this makes me feel quite vulnerable at times; now consider an entire book! Do I have anything fresh to say? Yes, I thiiiiink I do. Is my writing readable? I don't know, I hope so. Would there be a market for a book on atheist parenting? I think so. When I started parenting as an atheist almost twenty years ago I would have paid real dollars for a book like this. There are more books available now. But there are also more people coming out of the closet and looking for some guidance, community, wisdom... I have to admit that I've been reading some atheist parenting books over the last month and I'm not very impressed with some of them; while I'm super impressed with others... So I started this project; I've been working on a book for a week or so and I'm fairly happy with it but I could use some input. What could I write about? What are subjects or topics or questions that interest you? What questions do you still have? What kind of information did you look for? Also, if I posted some questions or polls on this blog, would you answer them to help me out? YES, I'm looking for ideas for more content. :) But even more, would you read a book by me? Would you recommend it to people? Am I too scattered to take seriously? Do I even need to be all that serious? I don't know... I would truly LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear from you.
