Everybody Has a Book in them.

[Bewlay Bros]

They say (whoever 'they' are exactly) that everybody has a book in them. That is, we are all gifted with either the imagination, statistical facts, or homespun memory that could equate to actually writing a book.

I have previously attempted to write a two-parter

1) Women: Know your Limits

2) Women: For Pity's Sake, Do Not Drive.

But they never went anywhere.

However, as an advocate of medieval torture, of which I strongly believe should be reconsidered as a comtempory punishment (except for witches), I feel I have a "Saw" style book in me.

What, if the pages were whitewashed, would your genre be?

And have you ever actually considered writing it?

The Official Secrets Act 1920 prevents any book I write from being published for at least 2014 so you have a long time to wait to read about my adventures I'm afraid

[Quizmonster]

The best response to the absurd claim that "everyone has a book in them" is "And that's where it should stay!"

I have always wanted to write a book. I would be the next
jacky Collins.
I would write steamy blockbusters!!!

I would like to try, it is just keeping tabs on your characters!!!

Hello wardy, don't know about a book, but I am writing my memoirs, don't laugh you lot, but I have known very funny characters, and mates that are inside for various things, also I grew up in a slum, and have also been a football scout and worked for dozens of famous people, probably onlty be me that reads it, but I am doing it so future family know a bit about where they are from.

I've written two novels, both in the teen/young adult fiction genre. I've just embarked upon a third (second, really, because the first wasn't very good), and I have a fourth in waiting.

Sadly none of them have been published yet.

I really can't agree with Quizmonster. Getting the book that's within out there onto the page is a wonderful way of working out your demons and gives you a great sense of achievement, even if the end result is unpublishable.

We may all 'have a book in us', but very few have the sheer commitment and stamina needed to bring it to fruition.

Writing is hard work!

BTW - hope you saw my apology after we crossed swords re. the black / white debate in News?

Onward then ...

I am sure your attempt at 'Women: Know your limits' would have paled into insignificance when compared with Mr Harry Enfield's masterly work of several years earlier.

A more apt title for you to work with is

'Plagiarism for beginners'

[China Doll]

Several... But fortunately I agree with the Quizzed one.

[naomi24]

Never mind the book, China, what about the band? Back to R&S with you, my girl!

Incidentally, I also agree with the Quizzed one.
