I'm thinking I would like to write the great American novel...I mean I AM a great American, right? I'm thinking that the trick to writing a book is to write about something that is complete fantasy, something so out of your element that you can feel free to get carried away in the moment. Here are some of my ideas...
I could write about a woman who grows up in a small town and gets married a bunch of times only to find love during her midlife to someone unexpected. They could get married in the end and...oh wait a minute...
Ok here's one...I could write about a woman who after having two kids is struggling with the size of her own butt. It could be a sci-fi flick where the butt actually takes over the entire town and the National Guard is called in...you're right that may be too close to home as well.
Maybe a children's book! I could write about two kids who bicker until their mother has to pull over to the side of the road turn around and wave her finger at them as she yells while her eyes bug out. Oh, you must have seen me out on the road the other day...sorry...
This is harder than I expected. It's difficult to not get too personally involved in your fictional story. I got it!!!!
I will write a book about a super model who has millions of dollars. Although she has the perfect body; butt is not too big...boobs not too small, she is not required to rely on her beauty for she has the IQ of a genius. Her children think she is always right and agree with everything she says. They never bicker but instead compliment each other and help each other with their homework and chores. She has pets but they never stink. Their doggy breath smells like mint. Her husband says he loves her even more when she has PMS. Hmmmmmmm...kind of boring. I think I need to add some explosions or an ax murderer or something...
