To book or not to book, that is the question.

Over the last few years some have suggested that I take the time to write a book. While I've tried to distance myself from the idea mentally, I keep coming back to it as a possibility. I realize that part of my hesitance is imposter syndrome, not feeling like I am an authority on what I write about because I don't have some fancy letters like PHD behind my name. At the same time I also recognize how much people enjoy my very real perspective into what Kev and I try, what works for us and what doesn't. No fancy overpriced degree is a match for true personal experience. The book would mostly be a consolidation of blogs with some additional context and transitions along the way. I am starting to come around to the idea but it would mea more infrequent posting on the site for a period of a couple months. Of course the forum would remain active and I'd probably drop a blog or two in as my mind explores ideas that I arouse while writing the book. What are your thoughts? Is a few months of silence worth it? I've started with a pros and cons list. Pros: A greater level of credibility for me and for the site. Cons: Lack of time to post on the site. Lastly - what would I title it?

@nevertoolate Thank you. I think I will do it at some point in the future but not for a few years. I'll probably self publish it and sell directly from the site. I had an author reach out by email and we discussed it at length.
