For thoses who want to or wish to write a book what type of book would it be and why? I wish to write children's books to help them in their lives. Another type would be a fantasy book that would take you far away maybe into another dimension. How about you what type of book are you thinking about writing?

I would like to write a book based on a true story. I never was too good at making anything up and one of my favorite novels has always been "To Kill A Mockingbird". It takes place in Alabama, which is where I'm from and I always thought I would like to write a book based on my life, as this book is based on Harper Lee's life. Actually, this story is about something that happened during her childhood. I would probably have trouble putting it into words but I think I could write a good story like this. Or, I might could write a good horse story for those who like horses to enjoy. Who knows? Kathy.

I didn't mean for the post above to be so long. Horses just seems to be one of my favorite subjects and when I get started talking about them, I can't quit, lol! Kathy.

I think its so much easier to write about what you know, such as your life and your experiences. I gather you like horses, I love horses too. Sounds like two good ideas.

I would love to write a book about my family history. I have already written over 5000 words and have lots of photos I could include. I really nered a bit more information beforev I would consider getting it printed in book format. This is difficult as I would need to travel to Melbourne or Canberra to do more research, and even then there is no guarantee I will find more. The cost in getting it printed in book format is an issue too.

I would like to write children's books that teach them in a fun way to take responsibility for their own decisions and actions and teach them that for everything they do there is a consequence. For instance, if a person fell in a store and didn't really get hurt but sued the store, they would know that was wrong. And they would question why that person blamed their own clumsiness (if that's what it was) on someone else instead of accepting the blame and dealing with it, improving themselves through the experience. As you can see, it would probably have to be a long series of books!

I would love to write book about real life stories that could inspired a lot of people. I love reading Chicken Soup for the Soul, all the stories were from real people and real events. I would love to share people something that could touch their heart and spirit.

I'd really love to be able to write a book. I've enjoyed writing stories for quite a while now. There are different types of books that I would enjoy writing. I think that the one I'd consider writing first would have to be a murder mystery novel. I've always enjoyed reading them. It's always been my favorite type of book to read, which is probably why I would like to write one. However, I'd also like to write maybe a book based on a true story, or a historical book, or something like that.

I think writing a book based on a truth is alot easier then coming up with a fictional book. Good luck in your writing endeavors.

Hi lelin! I have wanted to write a horror novel for several years. I have actually started a few but just can't seem to finish any. I get in the middle and then have a great idea and start over..lol..I have since changed my mind and want to write a short story collection. I think it would be better to do that because of the way I jump from one idea to the other.

I'd like to pen a historic fiction. Dance around the lines between fact and fiction, you know? I want to be able to toy with the idea that my version of history isn't far off from the truth. I love writers like Philippa Gregory who make it seem so easy! It'll probably take more research than I'm willing to do though.

How I wish I could write like J.R.R. Tolkien. I'd probably write the most interesting fantasy book. Something that in 20 years could e considered a classic. A requirement study for writing majors. Or maybe just a bit like Orson Scott Card. SciFi with a tinge of fantasy. How cool would that be. I also dream of writing a piece much like 100 years of solitude By Gabriel Garcia Marquez. magic realism.

Writting a book has been on my to-do list since always. I would like to write some sci-fi like Isaac Asimov. He is my particular sci-fi hero. I would also like to write didactic books. I have two books that started but never continue writting, one is about Digital Electrónics and the other is about electric circuits. I think the one of digital electronics is the one that I'll finish first, electronics is my life!

I have been writing devotions for my church's e-mail prayer chain for about 3 years. I've often thought about compiling them in a book (Many of them I put on mylot as discussion starters) But, I'm afraid that even if I could get the funding, that no one would purchase it!

When i was in school then sometime i feel to write a book. Lot of idea i got on that time for writing a book. Some were related with my own life. And some were another people who stay around me. Because i believe all our life has own story. Some are really so painful. I would like to write related our life kinds book. I hope one i will.

If I would write a book it would be an effective inspirational book or novel like that of Paulo Coelho. It is because I want to inspire people, give them hope and a reason to continue living. It feels good whenever people tell you that you've influenced their life, changed their perspective and inspired them to be a better person. That's one thing I want to do. I want to write a book that will change people's life and make them a better person.

A fantasy book for children, also about my life..an autobiography but I don't have that many "juicy" stuff to tell so I don't know if it would sell :( . I would like to write a novel too. That would be hard because you really have to use your imagination and create a lot characters and keep the story interesting.
