Poll question: If You Were Going To Write A Book, What Would It Be About?
And no, WillPitt cannot play this game. This is for non-published author-wannabes only.

1. A book of poetry, most likely
Though I could (and probably will!) write a book or three about my totally weird-ass life. I'd call it Little House in the Twilight Zone.

2. I've been thinking about writing a political novel
I am so tempted to be specific about the idea, but that really tends to kill any novel I think of.

4. I would deconstruct Neville Longbottom
Then rewrite the Harry Potter series from his viewpoint.

5. In 2000, I had an idea for a book - fiction - that took place...
a generation after a rightwing takeover of the US. Big plot device - rich people could by a liscense to sin. If you couldn't afford one, you were prosecuted for something as minor as premarital sex.

7. that sounds kinda like
Europe before the protestant reformation when Catholics just paid for preists to wipe away their sins.

Very interesting idea.
