Start writing, dude. It’s hard to have good ideas. I have good ideers for beginnings, and then nothing. Every day, too. I read an interview with a Spanish author recently, having a big 500 page bestseller all over Europe, as we speak, and he said that when he starts out he doesn’t know what the book will be about. Some work that way, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Others plan it from beginning to end before writing down a word.

And some of us have a good beginning, a good ending... and jack for the middle. - LOL

Start writing, dude.

People have been saying that to me for years now. The only reason I don't get started, is because I'm still immersed in running my small business and raising four kids in a terrible economy.

Sometimes I think the easiest thing would be to copy and paste my FR posts into some sort of log and present that as a book. I could call it, "Thoughts Of An Unreconstructed, Pissed Off, American Patriot".
