Have you written or are you writing a book?

i started writing a non fiction book on women over 40 but am not sure what to do with it.

A published book, no. But, I'm kind of proud to say that back when I was a teenager, I actually managed to write a 130 some page book (I unfortunately lost it in a fire some years later, so I forget the exact length). It wasn't to get published and probably would have needed massive work to come close. But, I just wanted to be able to say I could do it. And my techniques with that book were a lot more organized than they are now. Probably why I haven't been able to finish anything since. I knew generally what I wanted to happen in each chapter and had a rough outline of each one before I started. Not a really professional one. Just like a one page summary that I expanded when I actually started to write. Now, my technique is more, get vague idea, jump on computer or open notebook and wing it. Which for me, doesn't work as a bunch of unfinished stories can attest.

Writing has been my favorite hobby since my high school years, and is still is. I have not written any books, and I don't plan to do that till now. I write articles, short stories, reviews, commentaries , and so on. These days, I like writing about things related to doing business internationally. That, in fact, is my line of work too.

i Haven right a book as yet but i write poetry and thoughts.....an i write base on my experience in life an around other people basically things about me in my daily life style

I haven't written a book yet but it's in the back of head to write some one of these days. I used to write poems and such, but I guess I got caught up with the intricacies of life that I have put them in the back burner. As for my writing technique, I really don't have one that is unique. I just write ideas as they come and I put them together into a meaningful whole as I go along with whatever it is I intend to accomplish. I prefer to write at night, but I can managed doing it at various times of the day for as long as I have the opportunity to do so. The only requirement I think that I need really is total absorption to what I'm doing and yes some degree of silence. Perhaps I could write a book about what's going on in my head right now while answering your post. lol I just have this tendency of getting so much traffic in my brain when it's stimulated to think! ;)

writing books is truly a big project, i admit that i lack enough patience for doing that, the one had finished a book is a winner,just for win yourself.

Right now, I'm working on a novel. It's really no where close to being done, but it's progressing slowly. I'm hoping to continue working on it. I'm hoping the best for it. But I'll just have to wait and see.
