One as yet, Unwritten book You would want to have written & published ?

Are you waiting for a story or book that has yet to be written ? What/who is it about ?

As an example, I'm waiting for Roger Federer's autobiography, & probably Djokovic's too.

BQ 1 : Do you have a story in you?

BQ 2 : What Genre does it belong to - the story within you ? eg. Humor, Mystery, Romance, .....

BQ 3 : How would you justify writing Your autobiography ?

Update:

Sorry about the misplaced comma in the question .

Update 2:

@Billet-deux : It's so great to see you around again ! I'm fine, altho' my server is acting a bit quirky today :D

If I made a bucket-list, watching Federer play on court, live, would be among the top wishes ! My sis got to see him play years back at the US Open - oooh I'm so jealous ;-)

Your little book of jottings sounds fun! You do know that you will have plenty of takers for your book [please Do write some stories] on Y!A itself - all your fans & contacts will be lining up to buy! I have a good mind to implant a chip in your brain so that you wouldn't have to bother with the physical activity of writing/typing.... direct-to-computer !!! [[ Should I vie for a place in "The New Scientist" show?!]]

    Federer's biography would be such an amazing read! He is absolutely my most favourite athlete of all time! During the Australian Open, I am practically glued to a television, unable to pull my eyes away - and this is coming from someone who loathes physical activity haha : )

    Now that my rant is over, I can actually answer your question! I generally rummage through shelves of books, hoping to find a gem. I can't ask for a book; it has to come to me. Not in the literal sense where it grows legs and says "hey!", but I have to read the blurb, be enthralled and allured by the concept and just devour it like a cheesecake. Seldom happens, though. Poo.

    So, my long-awaited perfect story will have to come by eventually. Preferably before I'm dead! I'm only twenty, so hopefully I've got half a century to wait for that book.

    BQ1: Do you have a story in you?

    You have abso-bloody-lutely no idea! My imagination must've concocted hypothetical acid, and there are a million fantastical concepts bursting at the seams of my mind. Half the time I'm so overwhelmed with what my own mind can manifest, that I have to write it all down in my little leather notebook, which is eventually put away. I'm a rubbish writer, though. My ten million concepts are all jumbled and haphazard, it's like you're reading a Beatles song and trying to understand it! Plus, I'm a pretty hyperactive person, so sitting down - unmoving - and writing is a challenge. Might be due to my excessive intake of caffeine!

    2. What Genre does it belong to - the story within you?

    Most of my stories are either sci-fi or fantasy, of course. My mind wouldn't dare think of something along the lines of 'normal'. It might self-destruct due to boredom.

    3. How would you justify writing your autobiography?

    People enjoy reading about insane people? I can relate? : )

    Wheeeee! How you doing, by the way?

    Not at the moment, no. I've been focusing on classics for months now (Figured I'd better get some of the dreary-yet-necessary texts out of the way while I'm young and have time.)

    BQ 1: Oh yeah. Big one.

    BQ 2: I find it amusing that you just assume it's there. Then again, I suppose everybody does have some kind of story in them. As for mine, it is fantasy (though it has no magic or supernatural aspects. The only thing making it a fantasy is that the setting is an invented world.)

    BQ 3: I would have to do some things of more significance first, and be quite a bit older. Thus far, I think my life would make a neat two or three chapters. They might interest people, but they would hardly amount to a complete or worthwhile book.

    A book that's good enough to be publish has yet to be written by me so I suppose I'm waiting for that book to be created.

    BQ 1: Many

    BQ 2: Literature

    BQ 3: I wouldn't write an autobiography. I'd write a memoir

    The greatest book never written would be the ultimate guide to the psychological facts behind the drive for and use of power, including What To Do About It.

    This would have definitive histories of how and why individuals and groups have interacted personally, politically, religiously and economically and the actual results/costs of how it has been, with the alternatives and how we achieve them.

    BQ 1: We all do.

    BQ 2: Nonfiction > Other...

    BQ 3: I wouldn't be able to, considering that so many far more deserving have never gotten so much as the basic credit of their humanity.

    How person-friendly that's to positioned up a e book relies upon on how good is the e book (that consists of how good is your writing). in case you graduated college as a author, than you in all likelihood write greater effectual, yet that still does no longer mean if that's going to likely be person-friendly which you will positioned up your e book or no longer.

    Why Do you capitalize Words that do Not need to be capitalized in The first place?

    BQ1: Of course. It's why I blog.

    BQ2: Probably humor.

    BQ3: I've been through quite a bit of crazy s**t in my 32 years.
