I started writing a book a year ago..wanted to move on from poetry and journals and so on.

Don't think i'd ever get it published, though. Too personal, it's more for my peace of mind than anything, as it's based on my previous relationships.

It has SOME sense of humour to it, but.....other times it's very gloomy.

I'm not a brilliant writer anyway Laughing

I shall repost some of the things I wrote a couple of years back, they are on here somewhere but under 'anon' now as I have had other accounts before this one Laughing They are quite depressing though, and really not that good.

there's that attitude again tut tut, mhmm I can be the same though, write something and then read it and think oh dear, and why exactly did I write that? I like depressing poetry, but I'm strange, I think it gives a poem feeling...

Not strange at all. I think spike milligan wrote some of his best stuff in his darkest moments.

I think everybody has got at least one book within them, because everybody has a story or three to tell from their lives.
I had quite an original idea on how to write my biography, but i am going to hold on to it until it is time, i have more living to do yet. Very Happy

for those of you that have written or are writing books, how do you go about it ?

i only ask because basicly all i do, is i think for a few minutes about the actual story line, then load ms word, close my eyes and just type ( i can touch type btw lol)

it has been known for me to sit for upto 3 hours non-stop typing, at one point i was so engaged with what was going on in my head that i didn't even hear the phone ringing !

I do a bit of both, I start off your way and then at some point (hours/days/weeks) I add some notes and try to build it all up; the characters, and all the questions of when, where, why and how that person is. But...I've never finished a book yet, only shorts, I always start something but then don't finish it, usually cus I don't think it's that good in the end. But this one...I WILL BLOODY FINISH? Is this your first novel?
