Have any of you started writing a book or novel? I've started writing a book of my life and it's basically like a journal. I write in it everyday and will do so until my seventies then I'll try to get it published.

You can't keep running from what you're trying to find.

I've tried writing a book... but it kind of failed. Whenever I start one, after two or three chapters it starts sounding like a stupid plot or something, so I give up. I just haven't really thought of an idea that I really love, or that I can really write about.

Whoa, that sounds pretty much amazing, Alvin. I'd buy it if you just picked out your favorite entries. I'm not quite willing to read 50 years worth of journal entries, but I'd love to read the ups and downs of Alvin's life, haha!

Yup. That happens to me all the time.

The hardest thing about writing a book is finishing it.
