If someone came up to you and said: "Here is some money,
Write a book, we will print up thousand or two copies of it
for Free.. Be as creative as you like.. ONce printed we
will want 20 percent of all sales"
Would you take the offer? What would you write about?

Why would you write about snow balls?
I know in the Phillipines you don't have snow?
Is that where you are from?
what would you say about "snowballs?

ah ... it was intended metaphorically in relation to writing the first book with two more in mind ... i.e. to use the unexpected offer to support a book effort in a manner that would snowball :)
snowcones, shaved ice, & St. Bernards ;)

I would like to write a cooking book or science fiction book. As I am interested in these writing fields. It is likely that I will write a cooking book at first, because I am afraid I will not have enough inspiration to write a science fiction book.
I love China

What kind of science fiction do you like? I see you love China.. so what
part of China are you from?
I think cooking books never get outdated. People are always
looking for delicious recipes.

Frugal living ? Apple cider vinegar has lots of uses including
cleaning, cooking and maintaining healthy weight.

Funny you should have this post, as I was thinking about actually writing articles. I would write a book or articles about the single mothers travel tips and adventures, and give advice and rate hotels, tours and resorts according to how they relate to being kid friendly. I would have a few funny life experiences, that I have had with traveling on my own with 2 children. Yes I would take up the offer.

I think that is a super idea. Do you think that
hotels should have special rates for "single mothers" or "single fathers who
are taking care of their children"

Wow, that would really be a dream come true for me. About three years ago I started writing short stories. I would post some on line and others I would just write and collect them. Last year I had a bright idea to take all of my short stories and have a book printed. I was going to self-publish it but it was kind of expensive. Then I heard about eBooks so I took a couple of my short stories and made them into eBooks. I was able to sell a few of them on Smashword.
If someone came up to me and offered a deal such as the one you indicated I would jump on it like sand on the beach. I would definetly publish "A Collection on Short Stories."

Smashword? I never heard of that. Do they
have fees involved with publishing e-books?
I often thought of publishing my poetry in an e-book.
Perhaps would reach a bigger audience.
I bet there must be somewhere where publishing would be free.

I would take the offer no doubt. If someone would come to me and offer me money to write a book about anything I would like and know that he will also print copies of them ... I would be able to write a book about how luck hit me and earned money for writing about anything I wish.
No seriously I think I would write a book about how to live a healthy life.

Yes, I would certainly take the money, I often tell myself a particular story and would perhaps be able to develop this into a full narrative.

I think writing is so underrated.
It's sometimes better then speaking
When you write, you have to put a little more effort into thinking.
Often times in speaking, we don't think enough and thus, we have the
loose words we wish we could get back.
A nice story with meaning is always an enjoyable thing to publish.

I've often had the idea of collect life stories of certain families in the area I live and bind them together, as I think it would be interesting and something very good for the community but I'm not sure how commercial it would be or interesting to the general reader. Possibly a cliche market, very small.
I am actually writing a children's picture book, I have a series of ideas which will be put into place and the only thing I'm halting on is finding a illustrator.
Kudos,

Oh, I won't be able to refuse that wonderful offer ! It would be totally irresistable ! I think I would write about "Natural Resources of the World". I have not written any thing about that, but that is a subject I have been very much interested. Countries around the world have very unique and extensive natural resources.

You say that you haven't written anything about that; have you
written about anything else? Have you written any books or pamphlets
etc?

WOw, good offer! If somebody offered that to me I would accept it depending on the type of Books I am going to write. If it is legal I will accept it with open heart. Writing a books is best way also of expressing yourself and you can also help others through your writings. I am a book lover since high school up to now, specially related to relation and God.

I would probably do a cookbook, I love cookbooks, I love cooking so that is what I would probably do of course there would be beautiful pictures in it of my food. I think it would be awesome to make all the food for the pictures and of course get paid for it all. Either that or I would do a house hold tips book. I love house hold tips.

Have you ever been bullied?
Some people become more sensitive to those who are bullied if they
themselves have been bullied.

In my first edition, I will write something about travel and my adventure, it is something that I am more comfortable writing to because I could write it in a broader views, nothing beats experience though. That would be very exciting to write a book.

I bet that would be a great book if you ever
did really create such a one..Would be nice
if you would include star ratings of places
you visited and stayed .. this would be helpful to
other tourists and travellers.
