Tell me...

How hard is it to pick a bad guy for your book. If it's based on this world... who is the biggest bad guy in the world? What kind of big bad guy would want to get rid of all the other big bad guys?
Plus, the cold war is over, so he can't be Russian. Iraq stuff is too scary for a kid's book so he can't be from the Middle East. I was thinking maybe North Korea? But, they aren't quite the scary super power yet. Iran is getting there with their "peaceful" nuclear program... but that's scary middle east stuff.

Hmmm... lot's of thinking to do still.

Also, is the big bad guy getting rid of all the other bad guys in the world so he can be the ONLY big bad guy? Or does he think he's right or good because he's getting rid of the other big bad guys in the world? Or even scarier, is the big bad guy.... a woman!????

Think. Think. Think.
Seriously, let me know what you think.

Or at the very least, IF you read this blog, please leave a little comment so I know who does read this. K? thanks.

It's all been done...you just have to have an original take on an old subject.

I've been reading the book Libyrinth. It's about a girl who grows up in a library and books talk to her.
Recently I found an idea notebook of mine. I was flipping through it and found a book idea written in it: A girl grows up in a Library and books talk to her.

Oh well.

It's all been done. huh.

Also, recently I found out that my best friend T. who is a 13 year old boy with Aspergers and I came up with similar ideas for books. I think both could work separately as books, OR we could work together to make one book...

My son and I are working together on a book about Bullies. I think it would be therapeutic for both of us. I'm writing it in a notebook with SHARKS on the front!
Hmmm, maybe I SHOULD be writing books for 11 year old boys... I seem to think like them.
All grossness and bluntness and ACTION! None of that Deep thought or prose.
