Lol</p> <p>If I wrote a book, it would probably be fantasy or historical fiction a la The Other Boleyn Girl or something Jane Austen-esque. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467947 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:42:08 +0000 MrsKoala 467947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Thanks! Yep, I'm new! Just joined a couple weeks ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467944 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:41:00 +0000 Bao 467944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: that sounds like it would be interesting! Side note, you must be relatively new, welcome to Hellobee :) hopefully we see more of you around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467940 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:40:24 +0000 mrbee 467940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: Ooh a disapproving family... sounds promising for a romance novel!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467935 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:38:05 +0000 MrsKoala 467935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: It sounds so silly but it was going to be set in Wales and it was going to be the story of a coal miner and a rich girl who meet in a seaside resort town by chance and end up emigrating to the US because of her disapproving family (slightly inspired by the town where my great grandmother lived for a time before she emigrated). I never started it because it would involve a lot of research and I just don't have the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467930 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:37:03 +0000 Bao 467930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you better get crackin' then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467919 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:32:27 +0000 mrbee 467919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Haha but there's no idea there! It's just a general mystery situation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467916 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:31:23 +0000 Bao 467916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: your detective novel idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467911 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:30:17 +0000 mrbee 467911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Haha which one?</p> <p>@MrsKoala: I may publish it one day, but I actually am not even sure where I put my copy of it haha! *sob*</p> <p>What would be the plot of your romance novel?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467908 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:28:24 +0000 MrsKoala 467908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Have you ever looked into publishing it as a Kindle single? I think those can be self published! </p> <p>I've been a big (secret) fan of romance novels since I was about 14 and I've always thought that I could probably write one. I've even toyed with a couple settings/plots that I could use but I've never been struck with the need to start writing. Maybe some day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467907 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:27:50 +0000 Bao 467907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I would totally read that book mrbee, you should write it ;) ETA: I would probably write some type of fantasy book, a cross between Hobbit/Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. My imagination could run wild. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wrote-just-one-book-what-would-it-be-about#post-467893 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:22:17 +0000 mrbee 467893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The summer after my college graduation, I wrote a book about how to learn Chinese Characters (well, for Japanese at least). I never published it just b/c it was such a pain to publish stuff back then and I had just started a new job that kept me busy. But sometimes I think about going back and turning that book into an iPhone/iPad app!</p> <p>If I were to write one book today (and it was just for fun - money was not a consideration), I would probably write a detective novel. It wouldn't involve actual detectives, but more like private citizens doing investigating - like the journalist from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books by Stieg Larsson, or the young wizards/witches in the Harry Potter books. All classic detective stories, with the detective being outside of law enforcement.</p> <p>If you wrote just one book, what would it be about? </p>
