Hi guys,
I want to write a book, although i am only 15 years old i dont think this matters. I am prepared to spend 90% of my spare time writing and perfecting this book. I have always got A's and A+'s for writing storys as homework. So do you think i am capable of doing it. If so what do you think i should write about, all ideas welcome.
Thank you guys :)

Sure. If you go to my profile you will find I star every good question on writing and publishing. Feel free to print out as many as you think interest you and might help you. There is a lot of good information archived there from some very good authors who have come here and volunteered information for novices like you.

in my opinion, it doesn't matter what kind of grades you get or how old you are really... as long as you understand what you scribble on the paper. sure grades will probably prove how well you know how to transfer your ideas, but really its entirely based upon how great your urge to write is. I am 16 so pretty close to you. If someone came up to me and told me to write a story about something... i would have a hard time doing it. I enjoy writing story's about whatever i feel like, the sky's the limit, that's what makes me like it so much. It sounds like you got your mind set to writing a story, all you have to do now is just wait for a topic to come to mind and in no doubt your story will come out brilliant. good luck.

I think if you want write the you should. I think you should write about what you know or about something that really interests you. Maybe you could do a book of you short stories.
Good Luck

Yeah go for it. I'm also 15 and I was totally thinking the same thing.I've had some of my short stories published in anthologies so it can happen.

who are we to think that whether u are capable or not, we have to know u personally to judge u like that.
However if u think that u are capable enought please go ahead and write a novel. u dont need permission from anyone whatsoever
