Does anybody have a topic to write a book about because I can't think of anything. It doesn't matter what type of topic it is just as long as its not inappropriate.:p

The world is waiting for romance novels that involve old people, especially ones in nursing homes and assisted living facilities--how they meet, how they fall in love, what happens next.

Hi, pipsey!

How long does your book have to be? Also, is it to be fiction or non-fiction, please?

Thanks!

Also, there aren't many children's books about having an imaginary friend.

Psychic phenomena never get old: Remote viewers, telekenesis, spirit channelers,
Telepathics, clairvoyants, etc. Fun for some to laugh at and for others to take
Seriously. :)

Write about something you know and have experienced. It makes the story much more believable.

I do hope that you return to this thread pipsey, since you've already had a number of people who've made suggestions to you.

Thanks!

Well it doesn't matter how long but I would like it to be fiction

Like JJ said, write about something you know or have experienced. I work in a library and supervise the volunteers. I wrote a fictionalized story about something that happened to me and one of them. It was pubished in a magazine..

There are so many things that happen to you every day. Right now, my cats are sleeping under our Christmas tree. They get excited every year when we put it up. Then they go under it and maybe pretend they are out in the jungle being tigers. They arrange themselves around the gifts (pretending those are rocks?) and for amusement when they wake up will reach up to knock off ornaments and candy canes. One cat hooked his paw around the string of lights and nearly pulled them off the tree. When we scolded him, he looked like, "Who you messin' with? Those lights would look so much better spread out on the carpet" and then walked away swishing his tail.

I could write a story about Christmas from my cats' point of view or from the tree's point of view or from my own point of view. You see how easy it is to write fiction? Now think about your day so far and what has happened. Write down some ideas. Flesh those out into sentences and dialogue. Voilà! You have a story!
