Three Books you'd Like to Write

[neonlyte]

I guess most of us are here because we have writerly ambitions, for some it stops at Literotica Classics others have other targets in other writing spheres. What are the three books you'd like to write given the time and resources.

I'd like the time to tackle these:

Biography of Lionel Pioline - Legendary French Baker who re-invented the craft and tradition of sourdough bread and who died tragically in a helicopter accident in Brittany two years ago.

Viking Matriachs - The Vikings went pillaging leaving the women behind to run the homesteads, raise families, run countries (almost impossible to research)

The Girl from Debenhams - For two weeks in my late teens I fell madly in love with a girl from Debenhams, made a complete arse of myself in the best Hugh Grant tradition - might actually tackle this one.

The Encyclopedia Britanica: B, Ma-Mo and T.

Sadly I'm fairly certain someone got the idea before me.

Hmmmm...what an interesting question, Neon.

I can think of two, but titles escape me:

The first is the novel I started for NaNo, and I will finish it eventually. It's the story of a Native American woman trying to reconcile her roots and her heritage with modern America.

The second, I may write a small portion for an essay here at Lit...racism as seen by both sides. I'm very lucky in that I see both sides of it, since I am on both the inside and the outside, and if it helps just one person to see it from the other point of view, then I've done a good thing.

The Impeachment of G W Bush (for abusing the US Constitution to promote a state religion)

The Capture of Osma Bin Laden (who was found to be still in the pay of the CIA and is actually a one-legged lesbian and the CIA's contribution to their positive action programme for terrorists)

The Female Utopia (which demonstrates that women can produce stupid ideal worlds just as easily as men can and that nobody wants to do the domestic chores or look after children in an idealised society)

[Colleen Thomas]

Social Anxiety Disorder, A view from the locked room: If I thought I had the skill to convey the condition to people in a way they could appreciate, I'd write this one.

Amazon: the history of women in arms: It's not an impossible dream to write it, but again, I doubt the skill to produce a purely scholarly work on my part.

My Nano novel

 

[Guest]

Handbook for the Chornically Humor Impaired : an indepth look at people with no sense of humor who suffer daily from lack of laughter. Hoping to hand them out as a sort of bible to all hotel chains at first...second printing for cash only.

Where's My Social Conscious?: something like a political overview...politics for dummys.

My Dog Has Worms: how to treat various ailments homeopathically for our canine friends. (this is more of a dream project though... prolly wont happen)

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

“Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Ashamed to Ask!”

A truly dirty encyclopaedia of aberrant sex acts.


“O of Sunnybrooke Farm”

An alienated sub finds happiness at the bottom of a mixed farming community food chain.


“Of Vegetable Bondage

A Sci-Fi/Horror about the war of attrition between human colonists and a species of plant which captures and holds their childbearing-aged females in a sexually gratifying form of bondage.

Except for the title, this last one is an actual story I am struggling with, but cannot — to date — devise a workable format.

 

[CharleyH]

If I can finish the one I am writing, The Making of a Mistress, which I have reverted back to calling it, then perfect, I can finish the rest. Merely 20,000 words to go before I can call it a novel, though I will more than likely write more.

Bathyl: an odessy(sp) through time, similar to, but not same as "Orlando," and if I give up the concept now, I will be forever at fault that someone else finished it before me. This is more of a life's love for me, but so many time frames, a lot of precise research and attention to detail. I will finish it . . . in time.

Lastly: A cookbook. Well, a cookbook with a twist of me.

You only asked for three, and these are the one's on my mind at the moment.

 

[Boota]

I've got nineteen books plotted out and ready to write as I finish them in timely order, but barring those here are a few I'd like to do:

Building Self-Esteem for Dummies.

Chicken Soup for the Pervert's Soul.

Things I Never Should Have Fucked.

 

[carsonshepherd]

Always Smooth, Never Bitter

That's only one... there are two others, but I won't discuss.

You think you can come here and sandbag?

 

[Wildcard Ky]

Three books I'd like to write:

1. How I'm going to spend this $100 million dollars that I just won.

2. Why women find me so irresistable.

3. How I successfully deal with delusions.

I have the name of a good therapist if you need one...

If I went to good therapist, they might make me normal. Can't have that!

 

[BlackShanglan]

1) Gulliver's Travels - the tale of a man who embarks on a series of voyages and finds strange new lands with much to teach the old ones.
2) Orlando - a joyous romp following the life of a person who lives for 400 years and changes sex midway through. No one is surprised by any of this.
3) Catch-22 - a divinely black comedy and the funniest grim, serious anti-war novel ever written.

What, some bastard beat me to them?!

Oh, all right ...

1) A Man of Character. It's really a screenplay and written but about to be torn apart again. It may never be perfect but I want it to be. It follows the life of Robert Edgemont, a servant in a Victorian country house who falls in love with the butler.

2) The King of Kafiristan. Obscure short story. It follows the life of Danial Dravot (from Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King") after he falls from the bridge and survives.

3) Will. A novella. I wrote it. I just wish it had a topic that could ever see real print. But it was important to me to write it.

[Evil Alpaca]

I'd like to write something called the Bible.

Maybe a story about a short guy with hairy feet who finds a magical ring . . .

Maybe some porn . . .

Oh, come on. Who's going to read that?

Good point . . . maybe if I made a movie out of it . . .

 

[BlackShanglan]

The Female Utopia (which demonstrates that women can produce stupid ideal worlds just as easily as men can and that nobody wants to do the domestic chores or look after children in an idealised society)

I love it Mill had it right - one would guess from the state of the laws of his day that only brute force could compel women to stay at home waiting on a husband and children. He could take away the word "women" and substitute "people" with no real loss of meaning.

[Lord DragonsWing]

There are 3 books I would love to write.

1. The Cajun Kama Sutra-I'm working on it now and near the first chapter being completed. It's actually a humor self help on the Kama Sutra cajun style

2. He ate the Lemons-One of the mysteries of the Civil War is who sent Stonewall Jackson his lemons and what is behind it. He kept lemons with him at all times and they were shipped from somewhere/someone unknown. There has to be a good story behind that one.

3. Love Across the Net-many of us deal with this and in this cyber age we all have to learn how to trust, be honest and love. An excellent book for now and the future.

 

[Huckleman2000]

Hmmm...
Honestly, I'd just like to write something I could submit to this site that didn't degenerate into an anti-Bush polemic or a meditation on the excesses of the dot-com implosion.

I'm hopelessly non-fiction, and my real life lacks any pornographic experiences lately.

What I need is.... a muse! Like Sharon Stone in that movie, but with bigger tits. Or brunette, maybe. Or... just not Sharon Stone. More like Salma Hayek in Dogma. Now, there's a muse! If I couldn't pop out a novel or two with her to inspire me, well... let's just say, it wouldn't bother me, as long as I kept being, err, inspired.

 

[TxRad]

Three books;

1. Dirt in Your eyes. Actually got this one started. A story about the real people who race at the local dirt tracks every saturday night. The poor boys against the rich or sponsored guys. Fought this war all my life.

2. A New Path. Also got this one started. Sci-fi. What would happen if the whole of the Indian Nations migrated to another planet. No white man, no laws but our own. Would it work and where would it go.. questions I'd like to find answers to.

3. Tracy lawerance has a song out called Time Marches on.. It covers my life and describes it pretty closely.. I'd like to take this to another level and do a multi line autobiography of sorts based on someone from the city, someone from the country, and even several ethinic backgrounds... all woven together...

Now if I just live long enough to do the two I have started, I'll be happy....

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Hucklebaby,

One good way to prime your muse's pump is to try writing a story based upon an illustration that appeals to you in some way.

Off the top of my head, I would suggest using you AV, only without mentioning the protagonist’s color or species.

If you finish it, you could probably get it accepted in the Gay/Interracial category.

 

[RavenousRae]

1. The Papilledema Letters - medical fiction, based on true facts from a journal I kept when I was ill with this disease

2. The Archives - a mystery, political intrigue involving espionage in which only a librarian holds the key - yet even she is unaware of the consquences of disclosure

3. How the Leopard Gecko Got His Spots - childrens story about how to take care of a gecko

 

[elsol]

Porn-wise --

A Master's Ring -- it's nearly 3/4ths of the way complete anyway would just like to get it over to finally get a few demons out.

Stories for Heather -- My teenage mind control opus.

Nephilym -- Only because I've always loved Milton and Christian mythology... I think writing this would ditch my need to see every movie under the sun that has to do with christianity.


---

Commercially...

No Daughter Mine -- About a father whose daughter has a terminal disease.

No Hay Familia (There is no family) -- The wonderful world of the Latin family dynamics

And so dies her soul -- Rape survivor story

Sincerely,
ElSol
