Answer 1

I've been trying to write a story for some time now. It's about a woman who is afraid of repeating not only her own mistakes, but also everyone elses, especially her mother's. Her mother dies and leaves her several thousand pounds - life savings which no one knew she had.

I also have a story about a man who fulfilled his dream by watching everything that had ever been broadcast on TV.

Answer 2

It would have to be a SC-FI book. One based on a tropical paradise like Planet in another Galaxy. Where 20 or more small Moons orbit the Large Globe. And the days last 40 hours. And the year, equivalent to 1,200 of ours. A place you could grow up on the dark-side and never say the light, even though the lifespan is 200 years. Where winter lasts for 700 hundred years, with summer a welcoming 300 hundred. A place where silicone trees can take 10,000 years to grow a few metres high, finally providing comfort for ground hibernating gliders, some of who have lay dormant for a 1,000 years.
And then they came. They could sense the beginning. The gently warming of their under ground world was forcing them out like heat seeking missiles. They had to be fast. They had one short chance. Like Earth turtles, the elements, and scavengers were waiting. Now was the opportunity to avenge the sun dwellers. It could not wait any longer.
Billions upon billions emerged like a liquid surge from the once frozen wilderness that encapsulated them.
And the warm ones had know idea of there coming. No warnings. No defence. Like a locust swarm that would devour everything in their path and impregnating the few survivors they merge as one dark mass. Moving together across the luminous icy realms they soon descended on the warm ones.
These were the Premundae. Thirsty. Vengeful and without mercy.

Answer 3

Depression and my life. So many people don't understand mental health issues and there is such a stigma attached to it. I have never been able to find a book about a young girl with depression and there are so so many people that have it. This is why I'd like to write a book about it, so that other people going through it can think "Hey, I'm not the only one, this is normal and is going to pass. My life will get better..." I would also like to write a book about what it's like to care for someone dying from cancer. I looked after my mum for 3 years, she is divorced and I'm an only child and it was the hardest think I've ever had to do in my life. There are so many emotions involved and not only sadness. There is anger, helplessness and frustration and you go through so much on an emotional level that you're not prepared for. Yet again, I think this is something a lot of people go through with not much guidance from someone who's actually been through it. The books available tell you that their hair falls out, they get sick often but say hardly anything about the emotional side of it. The extreme pain that they feel when their hair falls out. The anger they have towards those who don't understand. The fact that they HATE being pitied. It's so complicated and very difficult to go through.

Answer 4

A dystopian society - maybe futuristic, maybe not, but it definitely wouldn't have any (conscious) political message. In fact it'd be cool to write a whole series of them, connected only by the fact that I wrote them and that they were all about dystopian societies. See how different I could make them while still having them be entirely self-consistent/realistic.

I'd also like to write a series of fantasy novels, but I feel like everything's been done. I'm not that original in my ideas. Also, I'd have trouble stopping the heroine being a thinly-disguised version of me (or my ideal self) and that would make it a bad book. I intend to write one, one day, but just for my own personal satisfaction not for publication.

Answer 5

I would write a Fantasy book where A girl is the Hero with magical creature. I have started to write it but I will not say more because there are people that will steal my Idea.

Answer 6

I'd love to write childrens stories, ever noticed most childrens stories always have some tragic frightening thing happen in them?
bambi, snow white, Lion King. the only one I can think of with a happy no one dies ending is cinderella.

Answer 7

My book would have 5 sections
1 each for my 3 siblings and I to write our memories of growing up (rather dysfunctional) and then an end chapter for me mother to have a right of reply to what we had written. Not sure she appreciates what we went through because of her.

Answer 8

I would love to be able to write like Dan Brown (the one who wrote the Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, Angels and Demons...) that's what I think is good writing !!!!
That type of book - fiction - mixed with reality !!!

Answer 9

The ignorance of British people who bury their heads in the sand and refuse to see the writing on the wall, even though their own lives will be affected if they continue not to acknowledge reality.

Answer 10

I want to write a book about the horrible dating and one night stand stories that have happened to me or to my friends. I can't decide though whether to write it as fiction or as a series of stories in a factual book. retelling these womens stories in thier own words. I think it's going to be the latter.
