Would you write this book?

Alright. The rough article is done. Still needs a ton of polishing.

Anyone wanna see it and offer feedback? Not in the thread. I'm not posting it on here :P

I'd read that

Maybe create it as 'fiction' and just make the protagonist about you and events in your life. Then you can change names and locations if you have to.

Just throwing ideas at the wall

That's all it is really, scribbling ideas in a notebook and turning it into something coherent

My whole life, people have insisted I should "write a book" about what I went through.

The thing is:

A - Writing from a personal perspective is insanely hard
B- I like being out of the spotlight

But there is one central character that none of my stories could exist without:

The spook who dragged me along on her destructive joy ride. She was one of the prize gov employees in her day. Has done some crazy shit, still does. She's been involved in some of the major conspiracies of our time and has been completely unethical about it throughout.

Away from her, my tale has been as dull as a day spent folding laundry.

But every time she has stepped into or been in my life, the whirlwind storm kicks up (which is funny when you realize she was one of the first US domestic terrorists from the Weather Underground group...weather...storm...okay, I found it funny).

So, screw my story. It's a heart breaker anyway.

Should I sell her out?

Write the book. During the process of writing, more information and details will arise, and you will gain more insight and a broader/altered perspective of certain events. You don't have to ever release it publicly, but I think you should write it for you.

If you'd really read it, let me know and I'll inbox you the rough draft of the article (decided against a full book for now).

I could use some input on how to polish the thing.

That'd be great, things have been a little hectic recently but if definitely check it out; (redacted)

Thought I had that public but I guess it got reset somehow :/

I'm no expert but in school I took all their composition courses, technical writing, shit like that and got high marks

Anyways, if be honored to read your article



Hope your weekend is going well

Well I came back to thinking about this again this morning.

The reason asking what *country* that part of your story took place is *relevant* is because the reader wants to have a clear picture of the culture/environment that you were experiencing at the time.

The setting is important so that the reader can visualize the atmosphere, local culture/people, mood, geography, politics, that you were thrown into.

Thanks, reading it now :p God they just fucking infiltrate everything, chew through everything like fuckin termites

Never heard of weather underground either, but it was certainly during that era

Ideologies: Communism, black power etc etc

Wheres Hoover when you need him, hated communists

Yep. Imagine having to live with one of them

Can only imagine, though I've met some misfits over the years

Even family members, and addiction seems to run in the family on mother's side especially. Was deep in that world myself for many years

I'm about half way through the story, it definitely could be a book. There's a lot of details to expand on

Be back later

Seriously, why would I take the advice to write a book from people who wouldn't even stop long enough to read the foreword? Seems like a waste of time.

It is Saturday. People are busy ignoring their chores :)

I'd like to see it, but am sans account these days; it sound like you'd rather PM.

Ah well, I'll read the members' responses

100% yes!

I wrote the tabloid article version and am now trying to push it on people to review for me.

I'm about to be more annoying than a Mormon knocking at the door with this one.

See:




Wanna be a guinea pig?

yep.
