Sat 01/23/10 07:21 PM




Anyone attempting to write their first book, and if so, will you publish it anytime soon?

I'm writing my first book e-book..it's hard workohwell


I am working on writing one.

But I have no idea if I am going to try to get it published or not.


Yes you do... bastard.


Yeah yeah. I do now. Wasn't sure at that time.

Still might change my mind if it doesn't look good to me.

I'm just not far enough along to 100% know.


But it's better than most of the stuff I see out there in the bookstores. And, sure, "better" contains a subjective element, but you're writing in a genre that, frankly, could use a little kick in the butt anyway.

It SHOULD be published, and I'm not just saying that because I want to write some kind of Intro or something!

Well..I don't know if I'll be able to provide it with a " kick in the butt " but I'll sure do my best to give it a bump on the head...lmao

You've been telling me that I should publish it since you first saw the very beginning of it. So I know it has nothing to do with the Foreward I asked you to write.bigsmile

Just think....Foreward for my book....and the very first interview for the Writer's Site...

Yer gonna be FAMOUS!!! LMAO

The goal is for all of us to gain from this....that's why a thread like this can be so valuable.

And, hey, I can deal with a little fame every now and then....!

As long as I don't have to be on Oprah....!

That's also why I figure setting up a website is a good idea. Any exposure and support for writers is a good thing.:thumbsup:

Of course, even after the site is set up, this thread will still be here and will remain active.bigsmile

We'll definitely not have you doing Oprah. You'd have to write some truly smarmy crap to get on her show anyway. lol

Anyone ever do a "Biography"?

My niece wants me to do hers. She's had a pretty bad childhood and wants me to write about it in hopes of helping other young women overcome the same obsticles.

I feel very strange about putting her life out there....but she has insisted that I do so.

This not my style of writing, so I don't know where to beginohwell

If you aren't comfortable doing it, it probably wouldn't turn out well.

Does she have any notes as to what she wants written?

OK,,,but realize, I am NOT one of the writer's of this site
in book content as I just attempt to touch a mind's desire to see.






This would be a story, starting-at the end, as it opens.
'John is laying in a pool of blood', police standing all around,
Their guns still smoking, 'as John blinks to see his eye reflected back through a small chipped piece of jagged mirror'.
"His mind now bouncing, speeding",'back to this start'.
'Panting his last breathes',,,as he,'thinks back'..
"where he knew then", 'life was going to change'.
Twenty years earlier..
John and his wife Angie Lived a very, seemingly
normal suburbia life.
Raising their only child, Allen. Who is fifteen years old.
John worked as a Guard for a Medium Security Prison near-by.
Angie worked a part-time job as a nurse, and was a stay-at-home Mother. She shared her time with friends and family over the Internet, daily keeping up, as all lived so far away.
'Allen', 'mean while was on the Internet talking with Sheila', a local girl he met, 'and now fell in-love with her'.
'Sheila', 'was just a young flirt','and had no deep feelings for Allen', just a friend'.

'weeks past', 'and Allen feeling even more in-love with Sheila"
'he told her', 'if you won't be my girlfriend', "right now",
"tonight"', he told her!, 'he would kill himself'.
'Sheila telling him, "sure" you will', "well you better be doing it", 'because I ain't going with you', "tonight or ever"..
'Allen went and got one of his dad's handguns', 'he knew them well',
as he and his dad had shot them many times'.
'He then proceeded to the garage,' 'where he pulled a lawn-chair into the center of the garage floor', 'sit-down in it', inserted the barrel of his 45 into his mouth, and 'pulled the trigger'!
'Allen', was dead! 'With fragments of bloody pieces splattered',
'The first one home to find their son', 'was Angie'.
After approaching the drive-way', 'as the garage door raised'
She saw the shadowed sitting figure, 'and slammed her brakes'.
'Thinking', 'Allen was messing around and playing with her'.
'She opened the car door yelling', "you better move-it Buddy"
'with a big smile on her face','just as the non-movement of her son's body', "stops everything", 'her eyes now seeing the blood thrown spots'. "falling to her knees beside him", "screaming for "help", and her 'ghastly cries' of,, "NO"!!
'John', 'was called by the police department to come right home'.
'Telling him only', 'there was an accident'.
As John's car neared the house, 'two officers stepped out in front
of him' to slow him down. 'John jumped out fighting them', 'as they held him back'...'Telling him', 'his son was gone'.
'John now crying and yelling', "My Wife",, "where's my wife"?
'She's in Shock right now John', 'She's in the ambulance'.
He joined beside her in the ambulance hugging and crying over her.

''He wakes now the next morning in the hospital waiting room'.
Their family doctor standing beside him',,waking him with his hand on his shoulder,,"John",,'John are you awake'?
John coming to, 'asking,' 'how's Angie'?
The doctor replies, "She is not in good shape", John, 'This has been to much of a trauma for her mind to go through'.
"WHAT"? "What do you mean",,'she's going to be OK", right?
'NO', 'I am afraid this might take her years to come-out-of',
'the doctor informed him'. 'if she even can', 'come-back out of this'..'at all.'"So my son, and my wife",,'NO',,,,'NO'.
'Allen was buried three days later'.
'Angie', 'was never to be able to know', 'John was there', 'As her mind was now inside', its self..
John could no-longer bare the life he had shared there with her and their son... So John moved away, to try and live somewhere, where
he wouldn't be tormented by all of the past memories, he kept seeing and hearing..

Thats where this all now turns into John's new world.
Feeling that the Internet was the reason his son was dead.
Knowing it was feelings of love that his son was wanting.
'John had nothing but time to read', 'all of the conversations his son had with the girls on the INTERNET' and 'Sheila's laughs of his son's love for her'..
'Johns mind', no-longer able to fight the many demons it has made'.
John now decides to join an Internet site. One profile for him.'John'. And, still yet, One more for his son, 'Allen'.
'John showed his life to be basic and semi retired and widowed'.
'As he was starting to get-to-know everyone on there'.
Then about a month afterwords, 'John now comes on as ALLEN', 'luring' young girls with his poetry', 'and sad depressed, impressions he is living to write about'.
Acting as though his life was a living sadness of no friends.
'Taking his time', 'planting his will', and 'making his plans to kill'.

Ya know....as disturbing as the idea itself is...with a bit of " polish " that could make for a VERY good opening.

Not bad at all for a " non writer " T. drinker

What better way to make people keep reading than to have them saying " WTF is going on? "

That's what I have done with the book I am writing. Sort of anyway.
