My book

.

.

.

I love books, I’ve always got one on the go. A while ago John, a friend of mine asked me why I didn’t write one myself. It seemed a great idea at the time, but I’m finding it more difficult than I thought.

John’s an interesting person so unbeknown to him, he’s become my main character. I need to come up with something to spice the story up a bit, so I asked him if he had any ideas I could use.

He said he likes books in which the hero gets unexpectedly murdered towards the end.

I thought that was a great idea, however he might regret coming up with it – I forgot to tell him my book’s an autobiography!

    You’ve managed to make autobiography feel delightfully dangerous. Poor John never saw it coming.

    Yikes! Maybe it should be a “bio” and not an “auto-bio”! Just saying…..

    Your friend might be well-advised to be told one of the other bits of how-to on writing: ‘Write what you know.”
