When you tell people you are becoming a writer, what is the first thing they ask?
“What are you going to write about?”
How about… a guide to neolithic cave paintings? … a definitive history of the Herman’s Hermits? …shipwrecks on the Mississippi in the 19th century?
Then I get the, “Oh, I thought you’d write about business.”
My boring, trite yet truthful answer is, “My first book is a young adult science fiction novel.”
But mine will be different, original, exciting … maybe.
