How many of you have tried to write a book ?And did you finish it?

Question

And are you planning to publish it?

Answer 1

I have so manuscripts in my closet which are expected to evolve into novels, but then, due to time constraints and circumstances, I wasn't even able to finish one of them. When a new idea strucks me when I'm in the middle of something, I tend to forget continuing what I have written first.

Answer 2

I've done a few short stories and articles that have been published - I've made about $10 000 from those.

I've started 4 novels that are part way. I prefer to say work in progress rather than unfinished. The furthest one of the early books is 25 000 words long.

Number 5 is 40 000 words so far - I need another 15 000 words to finish. It's a comedy so it will be short. Then I will try and publish.

Look out for the: "FUN in DysFUNctional" early next year.

Answer 3

I've been working on a book since the middle of May. I've got some 55,000 words, thus far. The end is continuously slipping away, but it's always in sight. I hope to finish before the Fall semester, or at least before the Fall semester starts to get hard. I'm gonna put it away, forget about it, and then edit the hell out of it during winter vacation. But in the meantime, my summer class and two research papers are putting a small damper on things.

Answer 4

I am currently writing a book. I have not finished it yet and will probably try to publish it when I am done.

Answer 5

I have:2 books published (a children's book and a dictionary), 2 poetry books about to be published and another one in the process of being written. Some translated books;but I suppose they don't count.
Otherwise I publish in ezines.

Answer 6

I have started writing about a billion books, but only one of them has real potential, so I'm continuing with that one, and will try to publish it if I can.

Answer 7

I've written lots of books, finished most of them and had some of them published. I also have notes to guide you through the process, should you be interested.

Answer 8

I've tried a couple of times, but I can't work out the details, so I give up. I have an idea for a young "crackpot" inventor who creates a time machine, and goes back to investigate questions she's always had about history, like was there a real Arthur, and if so, was he like the myths?

Answer 9

i finished it when i was ten and then i put it away and sometimes i read it but i get too depressed because it sucks.
I like to write but i generally don't finish anything, the only reason i finished that was cause it was an assignment for school and i was a fast typer.

Answer 10

i was four chapters into the book.. and stopped writing because of personal reasons.. what was worse that i posted them online but stopped before hitting the climax.. basically i left it as a cliffhanger and boy did i get a lot of flames for that.. i hope to finish it someday but not for the time being as i can't find the inspiration i had lost..
