I think I might write a book

Jump to Comments

I'm thinking of starting a book. Writing one that is. I know it's a weird thing for me to do, but why not. I have too much time to sit around and think. Idle hands are the devil's plaything. I think that's my favorite little saying. Short, sweet and to the point. Anyway, thing is, I don't know what to write about. It will probably about my life and family. "Write what you know" is what they say. All I know is my dreams of becoming a rock star are becoming less and less likely with each passing day. But I want to do something that could possibly entertain people and be therapeutic for myself at the same time. I wouldn't mind being able to say 'published author.' I think it would sound cool. You can say it when you say your name. Instead of John Whitmore, the guitarist from Still Pending, or Dr. John Whitmore, it would be John Whitmore, published author.

I could write fiction but I think my family is just neurotic enough to possibly get the same attention, say, a plane crash or a hit single could get. I was riding my bike today and thinking alot about this whole writing a book thing. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. A couple people have suggested it to me. And I was churning out titles that would most likely would get me on the New York Times Bestseller list. Although this would take me probably two years to accomplish (considering one of these posts takes me hours to think of and then write (mainly because I still don't know my home keys (but maybe writing a book could cure that (or it could get me faster at typing like a retard)))) I'm already thinking of names for the book and even individual chapters.

This calls for some audience participation. These are the names I've come up with for the book so far. Although I wil probably hate these names in two years time, but I would like to hear what you think of them now. Please vote on your favorite.

1. Middle Child Syndrome (my favorite)
2. Crazy Is Contagious
3. Team Whitmore
4. Fat Boy Turned Skinny
5. Middle Whitmore
6. My Life In The Bible Belt
7. John Whitmore. The Book
8. Growing Up Whitmore
9. John Michael

Please vote. Feel free to put in your own title as well.

Thanks,
