Just wondering to myself today, "How many people do I know who are writing books, and I don't realize it?"
Are you writing a book? Thinking of writing a book? Piecing materials together to write a book? Have some really good ideas for a book?
I am figuring that I am one of a million, and that there are a million people out there trying to write a book and hope to get it published just like me. Since I have over four hundred friends on Facebook and Twitter, and a pile of blog buddies I figure I should know a few people who are writing books. Maybe only about one in every 300 on facebook, but probably one out of every 3 on blogger.
What about you?

Had it suggested several times that I should. I've got various documents that might be considered starting points stashed away too. But I've so many other things going on that I doubt I'll really get the time to complete anything. Who knows what the future may hold though. :)

Mike,
Of course, you should be writing a book!
books shmooks.
jk. i don't intend on ever writting a book, i'm not that organized. i keep a sporatic blog and write notes on my ipod touch here and there...but my desire to write my pulp fiction style short stories has wained.
i do enjoy reading good books...so i'll look forward to yours and your friends published lit.

Watch out Izzy! someone might sneak in and publish your journal scribbles someday. :-)
I've had it suggested by another author. I've even contemplated it. But I'm not sure its my medium.
Matt Dude,
You could simply pull your blog material together and compile a series to dwarf the Church Fathers! I suggest it with your author friend as well.
Ive thought about that but it doesn't quite work as blogging is so much more conversational. Some steps towards it though here: http://mattstone.blogs.com/christian/practicing-christianity.html
How do you think that might work as an overall concept?
I have a raw concept that longs to come out - a load of memoirs and experiences that all show how God has formed me into a holy screwball.
I'd love to just do it...

Hey MJosh,
Holy screwball seems like a good title to me.
I am. Not at this very moment (ha), but I'm going to be getting back to the fifth chapter here in about two or so hours.
it's weird, innit?
I am considering compiling a book which I would title Homosexuality: Bad Aim or Blatant Murder. Right now, it is a nearly complete essay. I will need stories of Currently/Previously practiceing homosexuals who are involved/not involved in the christian community to expand it to a book though. I also lack the requisite credentials to publish, even though I do know what I am talking about. I thought about getting a psychologist/biblical studies professor to edit and compile it though to lend me some credibility ;-D.
Likewise, I have a couple of essays that I may expand into a commentary on genesis over the span of my lifetime.
