My Book

by Oofki on Apr.16, 2011, under General

As many of you know I started writing a book.  Right now it is in very early stages and quite rough around the edges.  I want to get a good bulk of it out of the way before I go back and focus more on my overall goal.

I do want to publish it when it’s done weather it by means of self-publication or professionally.  Obviously if by some crazy chance some company likes the idea of it and wants to publish it would have to be dumbed down a lot.

As for the point of it I would say it’s mostly to entertain.  I want something where believe it or not I can make people stop and think about topics.   From reading it and the response I have received so far some people are offended, some think it’s hilarious, some actually have sparked conversations on topics that I find are important.

My approach obviously is unorthadox.  Be offensive, rude, sarcastic, and in your face.  I think it will work though - for certain types of people.  If you can make someone laugh will bringing up topics that need attention that works.  In some cases with the extreme yet indistinguishable sarcasm it will will produce one of three results.  The book will be put down and never read again, it will be found humorous and they will continue to read, or offensive but not enough to turn someone away.  I’m fine with all of those results as I said isn’t for everyone.  I do think if it is not toned down and was published it would result in people hating me thinking I’m raciest, sexist, etc.  This is why it will have to be carefully “tuned” into something with a better layout then it has now, which could take as long to produce as writing the whole book.

The bottom line is people like drama and conflict, it is entertaining.  If I can reach my goal of being in your face jumping from the pages and still get people to think I’ve done what I set out to do.  It is impossible to teach someone a life lesson or learn for another person, but you can inspire.  Though as I mentioned it may be obtained through unorthodox methods, but if it does work I am happy.
