Should I write a book?

[ilovemyninja007]

I am not going to go into detail about what but should I write about...
~A teen book about going on the run.
~A short book on learning why your teen does things.
or
~A book to adults and teens about how people in a teens life teach [INDENT]them lessons through death.

Please do not take these ideas from me...This is my chance of writing my first book. Please dont take them...

Peace out trout

What are you qualifications and experience? It is repeatedly said you should write what you know. What do you know about?

I am a teen so i know why they do things....i know mistakes my family made and ive learned through there deaths...and on the run is fiction so anything goes

There hae been some very successful teen writers go for it!

Keep it factual, from the heart, real, "true story", "The Ghosts of my parents", a teenager's story - before and after death....

Write it as if you are living it again, so when it is read, people can be in that chapter and each chapter, as it un-folds, End a chapter where they don't find out what happened until half way through the book, pertaining to that chapter, and same with the ending, the ending "wasn't expected"...

Add, stories of "ghostly tales" that makes their hair stand up, if anything like that has happened as well.

You might want to start with some shorter articles first (if you haven't already). A book is a HUGE amount of work. A lot of people (including myself) have spent a lot of time starting writing a book and never finished.

This isn't to discourage you - just so you know what you are getting into.

I know and I thank you for your honest feedback. I have been writing short stories, articles for my school newspaper, and some just for fun ...I am a huge goal setter and one of my goals is to write a book in my lifetime and I usually accomplish them. I am confident that one day I will get one published...So I need to start now...even if I dont finish I know what is up the road ahead...

If you have writing experience already, then you know what you are getting into. It sounds like an excellent idea, good luck.
