I'm thinking of writing a book. I don't know what it's going to be about, or even the genre of the book, or if I could ever finish one. BUT I'm really good at essays reports ect. Get perfect grades on all writing assignments (not that grades have anything to do with it) and my English 2 honors teacher said to me recently ,quote "I'm a gifted writer". I've had almost all my english teachers in the past compliment my writting but they've never said anything like that., so I thought about it..Maybe I'm not "gifted" in writting as she put it, but maybe I am good enough to write my own book if I at least attempted..All I know is that you can't JUST "write" a book, it takes lots of work, thought ,time and research to accomplish that.I looked it up and learned that Christopher Paolini (the author of Eragon,same as the movie that just came out) was only 15 when he started writting the book...I'm only 15 years old, Do you think I could ever get a book published if it was good enough, at my age?

They marvel at how advanced the people in Egypt where or Romans, or Minoans so much you would think that we evolved from a primitave form of man that exsisted only 3000 years ago. In my opinions the amazing thing is that it took our lazy buts so long to learn how to fly.
