The problem with ideas

I like to think that I have good ideas. Sometimes they're more trouble than they're worth. I mentioned on the pku tree site that I thought it would be a good idea to record people's stories, particularly the stories of us 'oldies', to record for posterity's sake the way it was when the effective management of pku was still in its infancy. This idea met with great enthusiasm by some people and ended with me agreeing to write/compile a book to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the discovery of pku. Four days ago this happened and today I find people wanting guidelines of what to write, urging that they need time to get their thoughts together. Guess what guys, I need time to get my thoughts together too. Something is always a good idea when it seems that someone else is going to do most of the work. I still can't get my head around the idea that I will actually be doing this. I find the stress of living so great sometimes. Hell, I can't even pay my damn bills, now I'm supposed to spend the next year doing this. At least if I do it there will be no one else to blame if it's crap. If someone else did a crap job on something that could end up being such a historically significant document, I'd be a bit pissed off. This is all on the same day I applied to be on a reality television programme. My agenda was to raise awareness about pku and special diets catering in general. I'm sick of being an after thought or overlooked all together, just the same, I hope to God I don't hear from them, after all, I have a book to write.
