Ever considered writing a book?

Inspired by something Iluvatar just said...

Have you ever considered writing a book? What would it be about? Has anyone actually managed it? Or do you have loads of ideas and never get around to writing them down?

I've tried it seriously, twice, but came to a halt when I couldn't think where the story was going.

i'd love to write-ive only ever written for english but i seem to do well and i like the end results. im planning to do creative arts when i go uni in 2005 and if i dont chage to drama, all our performances will be self-scripted/devised so i s'pose i'll have to find time for it

What happened?

erm? You love to write, but only ever write for english - which tends to reward alot of things that are poor. If you love to write you should be writing for the joy of writing.

I did say it was complicated. Something along the lines of changing a few endings...it pained me seeing someone edit my work …with ideas I disagreed with. I must have been a difficult person to work with, but they didn’t cooperate either I just didn't like them...I felt intimidated, which makes a change.

Surely the offer of money is enough to lure you into releasing your ideals?

Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers.

thats what a lot of people lack

So... is that a yes?

yeah, i did a few a yr back, when it was exam time, the are actually quite good, im talking about the story line, its not typicl like most stories, and it more of a film movie story rather than an educational story

They made quite a good offer, but I have principles. I didn't feel ready to publish either...nor liked the fact they, well the person whom I was working with treated me as if I was inexperienced and uncapabale of understanding what made a book sell...*gulps* as a writer...I'm very attached to what I write and react strongly to someone taking almost complete control of my work. I think I went over this last year to everyone who claimed I was making a mistake...but I'm glad I didn't cooperate either. Evil people.

you'll have to set up your own printing press...

i've probably written enough poems to fill a book, but i wouldn't want to publish them now because they are too crap and they would be slaughter-reviewed and this would ruin my chances of getting my brilliant adult poems published after college.
