If you were to write a book, what would it be about?

Question

BCRanger10 · Accepted Answer

I'd want to write a book (possibly a trilogy) about a prince who, despite having a good heart and a generally good moral compass, is still kind of a "ne'er-do-well", who lacks maturity, strength, and virtue, but is then forced to grow when his kingdom goes to war. That's Part 1.

Part 2 would be about his descent into madness, and how he would fall from what he'd become and betray his friends and allies, and descend into madness and become drunk with power. It would end with him suffering a crushing defeat and being deposed and exiled.

Part 3 would be about his redemption and rise. It would start many years later with him being drunk and ridiculed derelict in some far-off land. He'd get taken in by a religious order and eventually commit himself to doing penance for his evils in Part 2 for the rest of his life... until an old and loyal friend finds him and warns him about the impending destruction of his kingdom and extinguishing of his bloodline by another enemy. Unless, of course, he (the prince) returns to save them.

The entire story would take place over the course of somewhere between 10 to 15 years. I don't know if it would be on a post-apocalyptic Earth many centuries from now or on another world. I imagine knights and swords, but also combat walkers, fighter jets, and motorcycle chases.

I like fantasy and imagine fantasy worlds all the time, I even made custom chatbots you can roleplay with in one of them with! But fantasy is very broad

I also like sci fi and ufology and think writing about aliens would be super cool

I would need to write several involving a human-hybrid superhero type character that gets involved with a kinda-sorta alien hivemind (that’s peaceful) and how she has to work to get all these individual people across the universe to go up against a warring empire race of aliens, the prince of whom is a love interest, as well as another hybrid alien love interest in a weird triangle. But the first book would have to be the general reaction of a superhero on earth, fighting the government that sees her as a viable danger while also learning to manage her newfound powers for the ultimate benefit of humanity, the second book would be entirely on other planets and also a little bit in the vacuum of space, and maybe also a prison warship. The third book should be the climax of the entire arc with what I hope would be a satisfying epilogue.  There’ssomuchworldbuildingIwouldneedtodo.

about them... how did they meet, how did they get to know each other and if it was meant for them to create something important in this or that way... sometimes against the odds...

Cinematic Lily · Accepted Answer

If I were to write a book, it would likely revolve around the transformative power of art and cinema. 🎨📚 It might explore how films from diverse cultures like Hollywood and Asian cinema influence our perceptions and inspire creativity. I'd weave in personal experiences from attending festivals, analyzing character development in series, and how these artistic expressions impact our lives. It would be a blend of memoir, art critique, and travelogue, celebrating the vast world of art and cinema.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

One is a reference book about Delta numbers. They are found etched in the run-out grooves in records pressed at Monarch, in Calif., between 1954 and the mid `90's.
One is about break-in records. More of a reference book, too but, more text than just the list of all the break-ins I've been able to find.
One is mostly the history of my band but, I'm also making it an autobiography. I've had a number of people tell me my life would make a great movie. We'll see!
I've also helped 5 others write their books.

abc3643 · Answer

Well, there's both nonfiction and fiction.

My nonfiction book would be hard to explain but, in a nutshell, it would like be a philosophical / advice book. Certain STEM disciplines, like logic, can be interpreted beyond their immediate use into a philosophy for living. I am very lucky that I fell into this discovery by accident.

A fiction book would be science fiction but involving a significantly modified world order in which women would be dominant gender.

I am currently writing a book actually, it is pretty much what we talk about on this site, love sex, relationship dynamics, but I really can't publish it until I leave my job, a lot of the stories I've told on here would not pass the headline test where I work! What about you?

I did write a book. It’s an urban fantasy about a Pastor who finds the ring of Solomon hidden away in a small wooden box in the cluttered study of his church. He then ends up using it to banish a demon possessing a young woman seeking sanctuary, and soon after is visited by a wizard and his familiar who ask him for his help to take down a growing cult in the city who speak of a prophecy where their cult leader, known only as the woman shrouded in darkness, who will rise along with the blood moon chosen through demonic possession. This is the first book in a series called The Covenant Keeper Series. It should be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Google Play as a paperback and ebook in November, I think… definitely December!

Shamalien · Answer

Focus would be difficult, as there is so much I’d like to write about. Probably a guide on how to approach spirituality in the modern world…balancing the non physical aspects with the physical ones, integrating the shadow and one’s sexuality in a way which is in alignment with the higher will.

A zombie apocalypse book, a humorous fantasy book, a robbery book, a buddy cop book, and a thriller/slasher book.

I'd write 5 books to see how things go as far as picking up sales and then decide if it is worth continuing.

Murdering random people on Internet sites. But making it look like Assisted Suicide.  Crime is the best genre to write, after all.
