of a tennis player, hiker, writer |
I still can’t believe I’ve entered the book writing contest. In truth, I’m scared I’ll get disqualified. The rules are strict. But, I’ve decided that even if I do get the boot, I’ll continue my work, as though I were still in and see what happens. My ultimate goal is to get this done. Produce a rough draft. From beginning to end. After its completed, then I can work on trimming and polishing. Here is a list of my ideas. A room in a hotel, or a convention at a hotel…the entire book takes place over the one convention! I love this idea, because I can weave lots of sub plots in, and tie them all together with something big. i.e. natural disaster, terrorists attack, something like that. A family of parrots struggles with growing up and having to migrate due to deforestation. The family be an extended one. A tennis community and tournament players traveling in and out of it. A tennis player travels with his/her team competing in USA Team Tennis. Parents will accompany them, this allows for a diverse covering and sub plots can easily be woven in. Plus, I’m wondering, should I enlist the help of my family? Not only will they help spark my creative juices but they will feel a part of something I will undoubtedly be involved in. Thus, maybe they will be more forgiving of the amount of time I will spend on it. ** Image ID #921227 Unavailable ** "Invalid Item" "You Want to Write About WHAT?"
