will you buy it and make me rich? ;)

I've never really followed through on my dreams of writing a few books so I guess now is better than later. Anyone else published? I've had a few poems and prose published but a book... I can't believe I'm going to do it. I may even join the Stillwater writers group although if they are a bunch of stuffy, primadonna know-it-alls... I may end that real quick.

Now what to write about?

(Geez, I'm going to lose 80 lbs this year and start on a book... what am I going to do with all my spare time?)

And actually I have a few ideas for a book(s)... it's just which one to start off with.

Ive got what I think is a great idea for a book. Im hoping to start on it soon.

Once it is written, I have no idea where to go from there.



Do you have to write the entire book to send it to the publishers? Or do you write parts of it just to give them the idea, so they will know if they want to pursue it or not?

I have this great idea for a book, about cloning dinosaur DNA and making an entire island of dinosaurs. It would then be turned into park that you could ride thru and see the dinosaurs, however unexpected events would occur and it would all go terribly wrong.

I will call it, "Island of the Monsters that aren't really Monsters but cloned Dinosaurs." I bet its huge.

I have one. OK. It a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. There is this power that a select few people have that allows you to do stuff with your mind.
