I'm not sure whether I am on my way to a book. A book is a journey. You might not know exactly how it will begin and how it will end and precisely how you will get from the first to last page, but the territory has to be somewhat constrained before you know you are writing a book. What I am doing feels more like an odyssey. Part of it, as I've been presenting for a few months, is memoir.
Part is exploration.
On an odyssey, you pay attention to the next move more than anything else. I was interested in how Old Order Amish make their rules about tools.
