Default I'm writing a book

Last week I started writing a book, it's going to be Sci-fi in nature. It will take me a while to get it written, but I've already written out a basic timeline that I'm writing from.

I am going to wait until I get a new computer before typing it all up and printing it out, by then I may be done writing it.

I expect it to be around 300 pages with 12 chapters.

This is my first real attempt at writing anything, so I'm hoping that it's successful once completed.

Do you think you'd read something written by a fellow AMP member?

Why not? i love to read and sci fi is my favourite genre...

It is very hardwork though so be prepared.

I don't know where you find the time...

Will your sci-fi book have an underlying eco theme? Are you a writer or will you have to squeeze writing time in between other jobs?

I'm into reading, I would give it a try but it would need to hook me in the first chapter or 2 otherwise I move on.

It's on hold for now, partially because I've lost interest(writers block), and the fact that I have to move and get into full time work again.

I'll have to rewrite the first chapters then, as they're pretty slow.

I know I am not much of a member any more. *knows you all miss me* I would love to read your book though. Normally if the first chapter or two don't hook me I would put a book down but I might read the whole thing since I know you. sorta. Awe writers block blows, good luck with the move and work. I really hope this you get to finish your book. It is sad when people do not finish such things.
