if you are writing a book, what kind of book is it? is it relating to your own life and experinces or is it completly fantasy, comeing from just a story that comes from inside you? the book i am writing is a fictional story that takes place way back when. i havent decided weither or not i will inclued anything to make it a fantasy but as for now a story of someones life back in the 1400s europe.

Ideally, I would write something semi-autobiographical. I like my life a lot (and it seems pretty interesting to me) so why not write something about it? I say semi-auto because that would allow me a little more artistic license to create a smooth story/novel format, based upon non-fictional stories and events.

thats interesting, ive never really spoke to anyone who wanted to write about themselves like an autobiagraphy, ive found more that take their lives and expereinces and made fictional characters to play the roles of their lives. good luck.

The book I'm attempting to write might be described as chick lit with a brain. It's based on a combination of experiences I have had, and experiences I wish to have, as well things I have observed happening around me. The story is based in locales I am familiar with, using literary conventions that are commonly accepted by publishing houses. Nothing particularly ground breaking, I'm just aiming to produce a good, solid, easy reading work of popularist fiction.

I'm writing a basic guide to wicca... stuff that I've learned over time all in one book to make it easier for people looking into wicca. I'm probably going to use www.lulu.com to self-publish it unless I hear alot of bad things about them before I'm ready to go.

this might be a dumb question, but what does wicca mean?

I am writing two novel length works right now, both of them science fiction/fantasy. I also have a series of personal memoirs I want to eventually combine into a nonfiction autobiography.

i have so many ideas that i am tring to write like 3 or four at once. today was the first day that i actually messed up and wrote a section for one in another. i want to make each of my stories a series (i get inspiration from Tamora Pierce) and i think that someday i will accomplish at least one of the series...someday.
