    Anybody ever think about writing a book?

    I've always wanted to, but everything I come up with just does'nt seem good enough in my own eyes.

      You will always be your own worst critic. Write it down and have a few other people read it and see what they think.

          Wrote some short stories back when I was a kid. Wrote some poetry as well. Then I stopped feeling miserable and no longer felt the need to write.

          On another note, I have been considering writing some sort of eBook on growing sites, but I just don't get to have enough time for it. Besides, I'd probably sell 5-6, then people would trade them on P2P anyway, so it's not worth the effort.

                                  btw, I originally meant a novel - but yeah, business books too.

                                  I just feel like if I am goign to sit down and put soi much of myself into it, I have to love the story/characters.

                                  Pussyman - have you been writing it? If so - how many pages a day, and did you have it all mapped out before starting?

                                      Dude.. im hitting you up on icq in 10 minutes. I have JUST what you need. Youll have your book in stores next august. I need a little consultancy fee to set things up for you.. done it many times.. about 9k.. but youll make that back within a month after publication.

                                                          I have been writing one for the past two years. I had to stop for a while because of life issues but I am back at it again. So hopefully sometime before I die it will be published.

                                                              I've been seriously thinking about this for several months. Kind of a twisted love story, industry biography, self discovery mix... But I think I'd need help editting or even co writing. Not sure how that would work.

                                                              It would be marketted as fiction however it wouldn't be I gotta talk to a lawyer about that part of things though so I wouldn't get into any trouble. Shouldn't be an issue if you change names of characters, etc. I dunno though.

The problem I am having is getting time to myself to do that but I have started to demand it. I am a frustrated writer and I won't be happy with life until it is done.

                                                                                      I've been writing for years - mostly poetry and short stories, then I got into erotica and that's been fun, though I haven't had as much time as I'd wanted to work on my writing these days.

                                                                                      As for a novel, I've started many but end up finding my storylines are too weak, I'm not quite 'sure' where it's going and so I kind of trail off in the middle of nowhere looking around saying.. 'how the hell did I get here, and where the hell am I going?!'.. so it just hasn't worked out yet

                                                                                      I think it's a good idea to have at least an overall storyline to follow.. map out a general 'first section - middle section - end section' and then I've found it helps to focus by breaking down into chapters..

                                                                                      then again, I've never successfully completed a novel, so who knows if this is a good way or not!

Anyway, I am actually kinda intrigued in the erotica genre and I am thinking of writing one but I do not know if I have enough experience to be actually writing those things..
