Everyone's Writing A Book: What would your book be about?

Posted by Frank Stevenson
666 days ago


Just a fun discussion.

Everyone is writing a book now a day. If you were going to do the same what would the title or main topic be on?

I'd dive into the secret lives of the NFL cheerleaders. The scandals. The sex. The lies. The sex. Do they all wear underwear? The sex. The calendars. The sex. Important stuff like that.

What do you got?

I'm actually thinking about writing a book, but not ANYTIME soon. I'm still 16 years old and a lotta life ahead of me. BUT, if I had to write a book now, I'd have to write about the life of an American Sports fan in Kuwait.

Title: ArmchairGM

Genre: Realistic Fiction...so realistic it could actually be non-fiction.

Teaser: So, as the Mets fell off the face of the earth. A founder of this site, we'll call him Lewis Daniels, was ready to jump.

Would write a book about the Class C Evangeline League and our local team when we lived in Alexandria, Louisiana was called the Aces and saw my first game there at Bringhurst Field in 1955 and went there last summer to see the independent team play there. I would write a chapter on the 1972-1974 Aces who were in the AA Texas League and how just from one year's team 12 players played in major leagues. The most famous player from those years was Randy Jones who went on to win the NL Cy Young Award for the Padres. I would write another chapter about the player on an opposing team that was struck by lightning when the lightning hit the metal tip on his cap and he died from the jolt.

I'd write a book on poker. Not on strategy or tips, but more on lessons I've learned on keeping your cool and how to select a good game. I'm also outlining a project, no idea if it will wind up being a book or not, on the value of statistics in baseball. It seems to me like half of baseball's fans overvalue stats, and the other half undervalues them.

I agree completely Rawb. I'm a statistics guys by nature, but they are a tool, nothing more. They should be used, wisely, in conjunction with other things like, I don't know...Common Sense. They are not mutually exclusive.

I have a book in which I am hoping to write. Someday sooner rather than later before I forget everything. In high school, I was screwed over many times by the coaching staffs. Everyone tells me that they would've quit if they got screwed over like I did. They ask why? The short-version is that "I care." That is why I was told by every single member of the team that "Neely, you have more heart than anyone else here... you aren't the most talented, but you care more than any of us ever could." My book will be about my story but told objectivly as a thrid party. One day I hope to write it, just not sure if I am good enough to write an actual book that people would actually sit down to read...

Falcon, I'm sure that you do (or did depending on how you look at it) have more heart than anyone on your team/s. I'm sure with practice, if you write your book as well as you write your articles, your book will be great. I know I'd read it.

"You can change how they look, how they talk, even how they act. But when you care about something, you cannot change the way you feel. It is just the way you cannot change in what you believe. It's just you and there is nothing wrong with it." That is the short version of my working thesis as far as the message I want to convey between the words. It will be very difficult.

I would write about how dumb I have been in high school. Blowing everything away. I am not bragging by any means (even though I am pretty much an ego-maniac) but I am a very talented baseball player and how many season have I played in high school? 1 1/2...Why? Grades... I guess it would be used to INFORM the future generations about not being a screw off and a party animal and actually take school serisouly...you know how much college is gonna cost with a 1.9 GPA?

If you were really good your GPA wouldn't matter. There are a lot of guys who will go in the first round of the upcoming NFL, MLB or NBA drafts who's GPA is alot less than 1.9.
