Writing your first book

I am still writing mine. I am writing about my experiences of moving to another country and all the hassle that we went through. It is easier to write about something you know What is your book going to be about? If I have to research anything, I do it on the net.

I got my idea for my first book (still in the works, being delayed while I get this one finished) from reading a comic book and watching a Science Fiction movie on TV. I also got ideas from dreams, I dream rather visual dreams, like boats, water, streets, trees, etc. I also incorporate things I have done or know someone has done into the book or books. Since my father was in the Army, my first book was written from a military perspective, the hero was in the military, and the one I am on now, has the hero also with a military background, but in a different profession. For instance, if you are a nurse or there is someone in your family who is in the hospital business, you can write a story about a doctor who is told to operate on a major criminal or about a nurse who thinks she is doing good by killing elderly patients. You can then do research on the subject you know about, but even if you do not, you can still learn. If you are a natural fiction writer, the ideas will come from everywhere, even seeing a blade of grass will make your brain start to work.
