Ever thought of writing a book?

^^
As a kid i'd written my own version of the harry potter series. (I had made it a sequel to the 3rd one). Again, i find myself inspired to write a fantasy book inspired from The lord of the Ring and TES IV" Oblivion, about a kid who goes treasure hunting with a thief.. 
 
What about u? Ever thought of writing, or ever wrote a book? I'd love to hear your ideas..
 

I've got three books in the works.  The longest I've gotten on one of them is about 12 pages.  I don't think they'll ever get finished.  I'll probably try to turn them into scripts...whenever I give more of a shit about getting it done.  =  /  I'm such a lazy fuckhole sometimes.

Yup, I am writing a novel detailing how to become just like me. Points of interest include alcoholism, how to improve your procrastination skills, and how to generally just not give a fuck. Look for it on shelves this fall.

I've thought of writing a book and I do have an idea for a story. I've written some of it down but maybe I'll get it finished properly one day.

I've tried and failed too many times to count. Writing a book takes a lot of dedication and writing skills, neither of which I have.

Why yes, actually. I have a few I'd like to write. I've brainstormed ideas for stories a couple times, but never really started writing them.

Whenever I make even a little progress, i get bored of my own story and get bored of writing. It requires a lot of patience i guess..
But it would be fun to write a best-selling book and become extremely rich and not work another day in your life.. that's my inspiration.. 
 i guess i could start with one hour per day.. i'd get it done sometime..

I can get around five chapters done on a book: then I lose interest in the idea and become impatient, and that's the end of the book.

I actually started one and got about 2/3 of the book done - problem was that I didn't know how to begin the book. I knew how I wanted it to end, and I knew how I would get to the ending, but you can't really start a story right in the middle of it, right? 
 
That, and when I had my creative writing professor take a look at it, he said he really liked the story but that my characters were kind of underdeveloped (a problem I readily admit to), so i'm sort of touching it up right now. Hopefully someday I can get it done.

I've got three good story/world outlines written down, I probably should work on them more >.>

I guess I've thought about it, but having to put 'he said, or 'she said' after every single line of dialog seems like torture. I'd probably be better at writing a script.
 
On the other hand every girl alive today has thought about writing a book. No exceptions.

I think about it a lot. Then I realize how much work goes into writing a good book, so I say fuck that and continue being lazy. 

Writing's always been a hobby of mine, so yeah, the thought of sitting down and writing a novel has crossed my mind. But I've kind of abandoned that aspiration because I know it will turn out to be crap. My creative writing has always been terrible. "Practice makes perfect" doesn't apply to me at all; if anything, the more I beaver away at a creative project the more it stagnates. So I'll leave that type of writing to people who actually know how to do it, and keep my goal of becoming a journalist.

Yes, I've thought about it. And this has helped me too. It's called NaNoWriMo, you should check it out and try it sometime. Every November, you write a book, and you set a goal as to how many words are in it, and it can be about anything! It's pretty fun.
 
Anyways, I really haven't had many ideas for a book anyways. But if I ever write one, I'll probably keep it original and lawsuit free.

I would really love to write a book, honestly. I have always been inspired by authors, especially JK Rowling and I have always thought the idea of writing any type of book is fascinating. I just haven't been struck with an idea yet. Maybe I should take an English train ride....

On May 23, 2006 at approximately 2:36 PM I thought about writing a book. Then at 2:37 PM I ate a pretzel and never thought about writing a book ever again. 

No. Egon Spengler is correct: 'Print is dead.'

I have no imagination. Nor the patience to write a book.

A book? No. But I'm always trying to work on screenplays. I've read some books on how to improve my quality with them. But lately, I've had a hard time getting past the outlining. It's probably just a lack of motivation.

A book?  No.  However, I do brainstorm detailed scenarios and dialogue for characters in game ideas I have.  It's probably a good idea to write some of those down.  Surely I can't remember all of them.  I have basic sketches of HUD elements and artwork, as well as bullet points for mechanics and such, but I never write down dialogue.  I did try once, but it felt like I was writing a book, so I stopped.  Wait... I think I just came full circle.

I have thought about it, and I probably will in a couple of years. My first and only fanfic was around 90 pages so, it's pretty much a book.

thought of great stories/ideas that can  be a book?  yes
 
Physcially writing/typing the book ?  no
 
have decent writing skills? no

I've started two, but didn't neither even made it out of the first chapter.  One of them had an awesome premise, however.

I can't make them very long. I feel like I cover everything I want to say in a book after like 40 pages, even if it took me weeks to think of it, though I've always been a very concise writer.
 
Which is why I'm amazed reading Atlas Shrugged. 600 pages in and she's still managing to make the same point she was on page 1, and I'm not sick of hearing it yet. There's another 450 to come, and I don't think the rest of it going to relent.

" Yeah,im in the works.  The name of it is:The story and life of awesome Xavier Track(my name) and i finished about 43 pages. "

" I've got three books in the works.  The longest I've gotten on one of them is about 12 pages.  I don't think they'll ever get finished.  I'll probably try to turn them into scripts...whenever I give more of a shit about getting it done.  =  /  I'm such a lazy fuckhole sometimes. "

I'm slowly writing a screenplay :P as a sophomore in high school, I feel kind of underexperienced, so hence the term slowly XD

This may sound crazy but I was inspired to write a story--not necessarily a book--about Wild Arms after I played it on the PS1. It never came to fruition of course, but yeah totally was planning on writing that.  :P

I'm seriously considering becoming a writer.  I've written short stories.  If I'm in the mood, writing is just fun for me.

I've been writing a sci-fi book for a year or so, still hasn't been finished, but it has 48 pages, 24 pages of dialogue :\....

Definitely not.  My brother is the writer in our family.  I am the computer geek.

I've started my kids book, but haven't finished it. Not for lack of ideas - I've got the framework all planned out - but I only ever seem to get back to it sporadically.

I'm illustrating a book, does that count?

I've put ideas down on paper for such a thing. Ones I feel are actually pretty good. The problem is, getting started and getting over the daunting knowledge of how many pages I would actually have to write to even attempt to go at it. Its so much...who knows.

Ive thought about writing a childrens book about a kid that travels through time, and all his encounters through time have an impact on his personal life. 
 
But my brain cant comprehend all of the mind fucks i get when i start thing about what he does while traveling through time would have any sort of impact on his personal life.

I'm always writing something.

Yes, I have, and I've started three thus far. One of them turned rather cliched, the other seemed like too complicated a premise for someone of my experience level (a senior in high school), and the third is still in the works, it's looking to be a short horror story.

I can do a pretty decent job starting a book and finishing off a few chapters, but am never able to finish them. 
One of my favorite was I wrote a short story based off of the movie Tremors from a military point of view.

I am currently writing two novels. One is about 100 pages and the other is 43.
