Re: They say there's a book in everyone........
When I was 10-11 I wrote three comic books on a James Bond-like story, with the main charachter called "008," and it was pretty good, for an 10-11 year old. When I was 12, I read the Aragorn (or whatever its called) book, and decided, "hey! I should turn 008 into a real book, send it to the publishers, and get rich and famous really quick!"
But I never got past page 9.

Re: They say there's a book in everyone........
Good luck, I'll read it, thought about it myself but after working all day the last thing I want to do is write which is why I rarely post more than a few lines.
I don't think I would write a book on my life, but then I tend to be quite a private person, happy to proofread or help out if needed.
Re: They say there's a book in everyone........
I think my life so far could be an interesting dramatic movie, with dark subtones, but a book? No way. That requires content.
Though as you get older and wiser, you have the stories. Actually putting them down is another thing.
I'd say you'd need to decide if you want to be published or not. I don't know how likely an autobiography of a non-famous person is to be published.
Re: They say there's a book in everyone........
Thanks for the replies guys.
I wasn't really thinking of having it published. More along the lines of what I did, when and sometimes why. More for myself than anything. Might be a corking read for my (grown up) grandkids, though I may well wait until I'm dead before I tell anyone.
Might be a tad embarressing.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I've started on my memoirs, claiming a few facts from the future that I know will likely happen.
It begins like this,
General president pope patrick was born in sunny san diego. What distinguished his birth from thousands of others births that was the fact he had delivered himself from the womb having self taught himself obstrestology while in the womb.
Note: obstretology is not in fact a word.
