I want to write a Book.
OP - March 29, 2009, 09:47 PM

Hello everyone. Greetings from the country of chocolate and the alps (screw austria!)
just kidding.

Well, the thread title says it all.

I want to write a book. Theres an idea stuck in my Head about a Book but i have no clue how or where to start, how i should write it, or anything else.

So, i thought, there are so many educated people around here, maybe some of you allready wrote books or you know anything about writing in general. Please let your literate minds enlighten me!

Soon i have 2 week holydays (yey!! ) and i at least want to start my book in this time.

What kind of stuff are you interested in? It's hard to give suggestions when we don't know what kind of books you'd like or what sort of writing you are into.

What she said.

Is it a factual book? or a creative piece?

First of all, thanks for the awnsers so far.

Writing a Book about writing a Book sounds great. In this case i will write TWO books

What i want to write about is honesty about myself and my inner monologues i have. (yes i am talking to myself in my head)

I want to write about how i fought my inner demons during hard times of my life.

Not so much about the situations, but more about what i thought... how my inner Devils, my evil me, tried to overcome me and suggested horrible things to me. (this sound all pretty weird, i know)

I want to show, that even a regular guy like me. (and thats what i am) can have evil, hideous and vile thoughts from time to time, and i want to analyse how this can happen. In wich situation do I as a person have thoughts of Killing, Rape, murder, violence etc. Not that i ever would do such a thing, but from time to time, in really desperate situations such thoughts come to my mind.

Isnt moral something like one voice saying "RAAAAAH, i gonna kill this guys for sleeping with my Girlfriend!" and the other voice says: "Wait a second, your girldfriend has a part in this too, and by the way, killing is wrong!" You know, the classic angel/devil dilemma.

I dont want to postulate that everyone is like me. But maybe there are some people who have inner Monsters who come to life when something terrible happens to them. And i want to try to be absolutly honest about myself. I had thoughts of Murder, Suicide, Rape etc. (please dont be scared, im a nice guy and i would NEVER harm somone!)

So yea, thats the basics about what i want to write about.

That's understandable DigDeep, I have that monster too. It's quite creepy at times as I get turned on by things that should actually disgust me. Maybe it's the masochist in me...

Hi DigDeep!

Atually this comment is really not about what book you should write, but I just wanted to say that Joanna Spyri's Heidi set in your beautiful country is my favorite book of all time! I tell Heidi's story to my baby sis & she loves Heidi & Switzerland too, just listening to those stories!

Anyway, coming from Joanna Spyri's country, I'm sure you could be a great writer!

My advice is just get writing!

Scribble down whatever flows out of your head.

I agree with Hassan; just start writing. I am notorious for leaving the first page blank whenever I write because I fear my intro is never good enough. Sometimes you just have to let go of the 'where/should i start' and just start scribbling whatever comes to mind. If a thought comes to you while falling asleep or going to work, write it down somewhere! later you can piece it all together in whichever way fits best.
