Big LIAM Question

[liam]

What should I do?

[tangledheart]

Why do you have to pick one?

[liam]

because i need to concentrate on one thing right, and i'd just like to know what all of you think i should do, considering i've never really written a book or a short story... i was wondering what you all think i should do.

[tangledheart]

Well I've read some of your songs and they're pretty good.

[liam]

thanks, i've been writing for about 3 years... I think... I have a folder filled with pages upon pages of lyrics.

I put short stories. But do songs as well. I really liked your songs.

[liam]

Thanks Brent, it makes me happy that you want me to do something different but, i think i'm gonna try the book. No one seems to want me to do it. But i think i want to.

[emily]

not a good idea, liam. stick with short stories or songs or poems or something of the like. book would take too long for you and you would get bored. i know this.

[christa lynn]

A book is a major challange. I would suggest practicing with some shorter pieces first. But if you want to try then go for it. Also, don't lock the poet in you away, whatever you decide to do. They can be compatable.

i voted for the last one just to be a jackass

[tangledheart]

I've tried to write a book before. Didn't work.

[Gimme_Shelter]

i wrote a book

[tangledheart]

About what? Or do I want to know?

[liam]

I've already started, I'm using a notebook. And i'm not locking the poet in me away because this book is about a kid (whos 13, loosly based on myself) and in the book he writes poetry by himself in his spare time and alot of the poems are in the story. They aren't full songs they're like 4 to 16 lines long. I got the idea for most of this from Lynnever i think it was that did the "Journal" type story. Well thats how this is. And if i am to follow through with all this, It's going to be a full month. The Month of december. I'm already on December 8th. I skipped the 7th i said he was too caught up in writing poetry. But so far i really like it. It may be about someone slightly like me and it may have some truth in it about my life, but for the most part its fiction like where it says that my dad's an alchoholic, but he's not.

Thanks for everyones opinions so far.

[tangledheart]

Yeah, that's a better idea than writing a novel, cos when you try to do that and you take a while you get really sick of the characters, plot, etc as you grow older.

[liam]

I wrote a script once. It sucked and it was really short but.... I was proud that i wrote it. I started writing another script but i wanted to do seom research before i kept going.

[tangledheart]

My friend wrote part of a script. It was quite funny. Then she got sick of it and threw it away.

[liam]

ok kewl.
