yeah it`s not like your stealing there idea for a story, bio`s don`t really vary that much, but your right if you can Write a book you should be able to manage a bio. I`d love to Write a book myself i`ve got the ideas its just making them stretch to 300 pages, i read books like davinci code and see how it all ties in and i just don`t know how they manage it.

well with my books, i take nonfictional things n put them n fictional stories, usually political things to make ppl see the truth inspite of want they want to see. like the book i really want to finish is about woman being forced n2 prositution. i want to show ppl that being a pimp isnt as glamorous as the news n such make it, that there not really rich guys that wear fur coats n ride around n those low cars (i forgot the name) also to show that quite a few prositutes, especially teens, arent doing it willingly. i do that with alot of things, i have alot of stories lined up, i just cant seem to focus to write a complete book. n there amazing stories too!

but if u do want to write a book, the best techinque alot of famous writers use (including me ) is u set up a time line. get urself an idea, write it n detail n a paragraph, then set up major events to it on a sort of time line. example, if u wre writing a story about a girl being kidnapped, u would put her being kidnapped at the begining, then put where they took her, when she found out why, if she escapes, when do u want her too, etc until ur at the end. then u simply connect those things together. they tied her up, put n the bk of hte car, she kicked n screamed so they beat her, they took her to a hotel. of course u wouldnt put it like that, u would use details n such, but thats how i writ my books. it helps bc it makes me stick to the orginal story, but also leaves open areas where i can wonder off and explore how it would look if she say ran away or didnt fight the kidnappers. (im really hoping htis is making sense, this is how my teacher told me to write a book).

ty everyone. i sent in the book n i was able to write an authors bio. its pretty good considering im horrible when it comes to writing about myself, which is odd considering my poetry is about my emotions.
n i do have some of my poetry up here. actually, every poem i put on here (thanks to everyones heart warming comments) will be n my book. ill post bk here if i do get published (still undecided for them) n ill tell u all where to gte a copy. ty again for ur replies, it helped me submit my book.
