if your entire LIFE is summed up in a BOOK, would there be any LOST PAGES?

Question

Do you want it be told long as a SWEET NOVEL..
, short & direct as a 10page AUTOBRIOGRAPHY....
enigmatic & thought-provoking as a POETRY BOOK...
or as a cute CHILDREN's bedtime STORY?

Answer 1

I'm in the middle of writing a BOOK about the suicide of our son [a turning point in my life] and the aftermath it had with our family. The day after he passed away, I had a vision of me on the roof of our building and running off to die, so I could be with our son's spirit...but then I thought of living for the rest of my adult children and husband. There won't be any LOST PAGES, just a lost SON..

Answer 2

Enki- Just a comment: Your questions are consistently, highly imaginative.

If it was my book, I would have just one page missing: the table of contents. The chapters would be randomized so that the sequence would not be clear. Although the chapters would read like a book, the meaning of it all (if there is any meaning), would unfold as a painting. I don't know if that would really be worthwhile, but it seemed to work well for an episode of "Seinfeld".

Of course, it would have to be written in such a way that it could easily be converted to a screenplay with the customary dramatic car chase at the very end. Since, I'm already attempting to fill in many gaps with my fading memory, it would undoubtedly be a novel.

Answer 3

No, there wouldn't be many pages lost as there would be intentionally left out, as I would not put all of my stories in there, there are many that things that only a few know about me. As I have told you I try to keep most things hidden there are some things that I wish not to share with anyone, ever. It is not a purpose hidden agenda or restriction as it is more of a protection against my demons that have resulted because of these situations. For the most part my book would be open and honest and about truth, a life story that inspires others the pages that are left out are just that and would have no effect of the reader if they don't know the pages are left out but they will have an effect on me knowing that they are not in that book. I'm not really sure how the book would be categorized but it would be a book that would either touch peoples heart, open many peoples eyes to the reality of the world we live in or simply shock them. All in all though it is my choice whether I decide to print that book and I chose not to. there are some things best left hidden and unresolved sometimes. It is the same way with a book some are best just not written. I'm not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but it is my answer and it is an honest answer, one that may not have such a great response to but sometimes that is a part of life. It isn't always glorious and great. bye enki.

Answer 4

Some pages would probably be left out because it would be way too long to read if it was all included. I don't think it would be a sweet novel, though, yes, a novel.
Though poetry would be nice, I like poetry as long as it has rhythm and rhyme.
Not a children's book, no, no, no!
My friends tell me I should write a story about my life though it would be longer than 10 pages. And if I wrote it there would definitely be parts that were not included, so I guess you would call them LOST.

Answer 5

A bit of everything, really: there is sweet novelty in my life (it's actually very interesting as a story!), one could present it in a synopsis in 10 pages, portions of it thought-provoking and enigmatic -- not 'dry' and uninteresting, though!-- , could fit into a poetic template and phraseology, and, yes, the story, an open book, simple and not-too-complicated, could be a good, gentle bedtime story for children! No lost pages so far, not likely as a future story either: the pages are in-tact, and will continue to be so! An open book is likely to have no lost pages!

Answer 6

Recently a complete scroll of the prophet Isaiah was discovered with the Dead Sea scrolls. It was dated conservatively as being 2100 years old. Before that the oldest original manuscript of Isaiah was only about a thousand years old. (Isaiah lived roughly between 700 and 750 BC) When the older original scroll was compared with the previously oldest know scroll, there were virtually no differences; certainly none that had any significance related to any major doctrine of the Bible. Those who say the Bible was substantially altered do not know what they are talking about. It is completely false. There are over 500 manuscripts written in Greek that are dated before 500 A.D. and the writings of the early Church Fathers are so extensive that we could reconstruct the entire New Testament based on their writings, even if we had no ancient manuscripts of the New Testament itself. It is a lie and just another excuse people raise because they don't want to obey God - just exactly like the Bible says.

Answer 7

There would be lost pages. Some things will never be told.
My life would not make a good childrens bedtime story, it was not like poetry and it really wasn't a sweet novel. It would be a short and direct autbiography.

Answer 8

If my life was summed up in a book, there would be plenty of lost pages, for I am not a character who stays put wrapped in plastic SHRINK wrap. I am like a flying scroll, I go here, and there. I could not even make the book fascinating by sticking in one place for no one to read, to make the book even more exciting. Imagine the lost pages to be clues floating around out there, someone catches one in the air, reads that page and says, "Wow! Who is this girl, I have got to read more of that book!" My book would be bound think, printed in the finest hebrew inks, the pages would be the strongest durable paper, so as the reader could tell without reading the book, that it is a good read. The book would likely, not that I can boast, a long chaotic novel that has a twist suprise ending that no one is expecting. The words would be easily understandable, and would have the reader up late at night reading, waiting for the chapter to end, but still reading the next chapter. The book body would be a crimson red with etchings of gold. The title would read: "Loves enduring Storm"
The book would be so famous that movies would be made off of it. I can't wait to get it started.

Answer 9

Lost pages, try lost Books 1, 3, 5, 7 of the chronicles of my life; and thats the autobiography... to be made into a novel due to all these lost books!

Answer 10

If I died today...I know there would be lost pages in my book. There is so much of my life that is still unlived. Dreams that havnt come true. Places I wish I could visit but havnt. Moments I long to expierence.... and words that have been left unspoken.
But just as there is still much unlived... I have also lived much. With all that i've gone through...the drama...the love...friends that have turned into sisters...and friendships left broken... random roadtrips...moments of craziness...moments of passion...moments of standing for what I believe...
my life for sure should be told as a novel.
