Do you have a book in you?
Do you have a book in you?
What would the book be about? Why haven't you written it yet?
Yes in fact I do. I have several, but the one I'm working on is about a journey of several characters who don't know where they are going, but keep going because they don't want to think about or face what will happen if they stop. The reason it hasn't been written out fully is because I can be lazy at times, or because I sometimes get disinterested and end up joining writing tournaments and contests.
Sure do. A whole bunch of them actually.
I've already brought out my first two, am hard at play on my third, and have concepts or partial rough draft manuscript manuscripts for at least 6 more on the back burner.
Writing a book is hard work but it's also good fun
I've self published the first two, and while that can be tough at points, it's overall a great experience.
By all means do. I published my first book at age 52 and wish that I hadn't waited that long
