I really can't tell the story here. But, a minister told me last fall to "write the book, they will read it". I've now written four books and am working on a fifth. If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

I want to congratulate you on having four books published. I wish you all the best and success. I have one book published and it is poetry that I have written. You'll Learn to Love Me is about hope, love and angels, consisting of 56 poems. I am working on my second one.

Keep at it. The only way to complete a book is one paragraph at a time, yes?

Thank you, Dan Jenkins. Yes, I agree on writing one paragraph at a time. And thank you for responding.

My life! It would be an insane soap opera with lots of comedy and drama! Or hey, how about what it is like raising seven children? That would definitely a laugh and a half book!!! LOL But then again, I could read a drama about my childhood that could bring many to tears. But then again...it would have to have a happy ending, right? LOL

Well, write it! Let me know when you have it published. A story that good needs to be published.

I have written two novels. The first one is on a shelf in desperate need of editing. The second one is in its sixth edit right now. I had a friend read it and she made some suggestions so I have to work on that. I plan on approaching agents for publication. I write general fiction, some people may call it women's fiction but I wouldn't call it chick-lit. I do hope to write a non-fiction book on my life with fibromyalgia but I want to write it in a way that will make it a good read. I read someone's book on their experience with Chronic Fatigue and I found it a difficult read. I also hope to put together a collection of short stories as well as poems.

Don't give up your dream .. keep writing. I've been surprised how much writing I can actually do, organize and edit if I just keep at it.

i really love romances so i think if i would ever write a book it would be about romance. i've started writing one a few years ago but i scrapped it cause it really resembles a romance book that i have read.

I guess I'm a romantic also. I've officiated more than 350 weddings, and I love every one of them. I still get goosebumps each time. A book about weddings, especially some of those I've officiated, might be interesting. Start writing your book .. let the characters tell you where the story should go.

wow! working on a 5th huh? thats great! have you got any published? my mom is wanting to get a book published SO bad, but doesnt know how. If i were to write a book, it would be story of my life thus far. all the ups and many downs and how God has seen me through, even though i didnt realize it at the time.

I want to hear about the books you have written. Have they been published? What are they about? I would write about how to have an evergrowing relationship with JESUS
