Books I Want to Write, but......

...I don't have the discipline, the completed plot, and/or the skills.

I have always thought I wanted to write a book. The problem with this, is I don't know where to start, how to start, how to end, and most importantly, have all that goes into the middle. I have several friends that have written or are writing books. I am so envious of their endeavor(s). I have trouble coming up with enough to write several paragraphs for a blog that no one follows, so I can't imagine coming up with enough to fill a book that no one would read. Book tour would at least be short as no one would show up.

I have ideas on the theme or story line for several books. Some based on the style of my writing influences (except I don't live that la vita loca) and others based on my beliefs or view of what I think the world should be like. A political thriller, if it must be placed into a genre. I would share the simplistic plot, but I don't want someone else taking it and constructing a master piece.

I am one who does not write with a lot of detail, going verbose and consuming page after page of  painstakingly oriented, minute, in depth descriptions of the setting, characters, or situations. I am much too direct. It sets me up to be more of a technical writer. So maybe a manual or a how-to book...the only problem with that is I am not sure if I know enough about any one thing to write a complete book. So maybe pamphlet writing.....

An autobiography maybe, but that would be pretty boring. A brief paper on fifty years of failings and oh so close....it would turn into a how-not-to book.

A book filled with romance...not really the romantic type, probably would be more of Rom-com in a very dark, very cynical satirical voice. Would make anything by Woody Allen look bright and cheery.

Syfy- once again, my technical knowledge is just enough to get in the way of writing anything of fantasy and vision. I would be stuck in the reality of known scientific theory and could not break the rules like most that is out there today. I would name some that do this, but don't want to burst any one's space bubble.

Fantasy- see above comment about details, setting, characters, and situations.

I would also feel sorry for the editor and proofreaders that had to suffer through my mutterings on the pages, along with trying to find continuity in the storyline. Not enough Advil in the world for them.
