Subject: If You Wrote a Book...

Posted by: Cymruambyth
Date: Aug 25 11

Somebody once said that there was at least one book in every person, so what would your book be about? I keep telling myself that one day I'm going to write a book about childhood, only it wouldn't be an autobiography, but based on my own experiences of an idyllic childhood lived while Hitler and his oh-not-at-all-Merry Men ravaged Europe.

My book would be so short it would be called a "penny novel"

Mom keeps saying she going to write a book, but nobody would believe it's real so they'd put it in the fiction section. I wouldn't want to write a book, it'd be put in the self help to help insomniacs it'd be so boring.

Well, I am writing one. :D Revenge is the main theme, but I think it deals with love and grief as central themes too, and the protagonist tries to work through some problems such as whether murder as revenge is as bad as murder for no reason. In between the plot, it gets a bit philosophical in places. :)

I am writing one too right now, actually :) It's hard to describe in a sentence what it is about, but there are two main plots - the hardships a man in 1790s Germany is going through and how he fails to overcome them, believing he is being punished for his sins, and another man's desperate attempts to retrieve his fiancée from the man who has stolen her and kept her as his own.

Mine would probably be about 6th grade. Mostly about 6th grade.

I'd write a book about my life, what I've learned and what are still mysteries.

I started writing about the wild times and bizarre experiences I had in my twenties. Compared to those years, the rest of my life would bore most people to tears. I just have a hard time finding the time to finish it, plus I keep critiquing(?) it to the point where I have to start huge chunks of it all over.

Probably non fiction on the impact of European civilization on Australia's indigenous population.

It would be about a group of friends and would span several decades; from when they first befriend each other, through first jobs, marriages and kids, through to their mid-forties. Some happy moments, others of sadness and regret, and hopefully a few funny moments along the way.

I've actually been kicking around the idea of writing a children's book.

Probably sports...dreams of a life I may have had if I had been blessed with athletic talent of any sort.

I've always wanted to be a children's author, so I bought a cheap notebook & started writing a story called 'The Dragon's Realm'. I'm currently working on chapter 10 & I hope one day to turn this story into a published 6-book series.
