About a year ago, I started writing a book. A dirty soap, as I call it, chronicling the misadventures of the local delinquent cheerleaders in a crappy hick town, and the lame male protagonist that longs for them. Last month, I finished it. It's a whopping less-than 200 page male fantasy about disco, drugs, and delusional deadbeats. If that doesn't reel you in, GTFO.

Now for anyone who knows me, I fucking suck. I haven't written anything good in a looooong time, but I wrote this yarn and I want to put it online. I want to self-publish it on Amazon (though I have no idea how that works yet), and since I suck so badly, I only plan on charging $1 for it. That way, it might even seem like a value.



Do any of you read eBooks? Have you ever written a book? And how much would you charge for it? What would you write about?

I think it's cool you are doing this! I'll definitely be buying it. I love the fact that people can self-publish nowadays.

I read e-books on occasion, but I mainly stick to actual books. I just prefer a physical copy. I suppose that one-day books will stop being printed altogether, so I better get used to e-books.

As for writing, I've written a few short stories in the past. Nothing I'd ever show anyone lol. I have been trying to talk Troma into giving writing a book a shot. I'd love to see what he could do with something along the lines of a Creepypasta. A compilation of his movie reviews would be pretty cool too.

Good luck with your book! Let us know when it's available.

Hey fair play, whatever the standard actually writing and publishing something yourself is to be commended. Don't have a kindle or any other ebook device, however if you record yourself reading it i would buy the audiobook.

I've never written anything longer than a few pages, can't even call em short stories more like vignettes or random prose. And that was mostly in my teens/early twenties, whatever creative well i had ran dry years ago. Oh i wrote three songs for the band i was in at Uni (Rarg!) inc the classic 'MF Whitey'...

I used to write a lot. It kept me sane, and I miss it. I've had a lot of fun writing this story. It was fun and challenging to do it, and even if it sucks, I'm proud to say I've written a novel...

I may be lower-class, but I still feel rather fulfilled by all the junk I've written over the years. I've written over a hundred songs, dozens of screenplays, enough computer code to run this place, and now a novel. The funny thing is most people have no idea I do any of this, because I never show it to anyone. It's more for myself, I guess.

Creativity is a hard thing to keep going, but since I never bought into the big time to be successful, I still haven't run out completely. It's a lower-class / starving-artist type thing, I guess, but whatever works, right?

Feel free to post any of your writings/lyrics. I might post a prologue to the story, so people can sample what I'm selling.

just the idea of a novel makes me balk. forget editing/grammar shit, keeping a story interesting that long without sending yourself mad with rewrites is impressive, white trash low class whatever. Bukowski n Selby would be proud. like you n Onyx i (used to) write for myself and rarely show others, it's theraputic more than anything, get that shit out n that.

I haven't written anything in years. I really admire people who have writing talent. Seems so easy for some people. I suppose they are just naturals.
