Right now I just doodled down some notes...I don't want to give away to much for somebody to steal my ideas...I've never read a hood book in my life and haven't read a book since 2004. I was just chillin today and the shyt just popped in my head. I wrote for a straight two hours...It's hard to be original these days so I'm not going read anything for ideas.
I'm just writing pieces randomly and when I'm finished, I'm going to rearrange to where they fit in the story like a puzzle. It's going to have a love story element but I really want people to read it as a life story where they can relate too...
Mission
Make characters entertaining as possible but realistic where most people of all ethnic background can relate to them. Delve into infidelity, race issues, work place related problems, dysfunctional family, street life, children, debt and baby mama/daddy drama. Characters overcome there struggle and conquer adversity.
Yes I know all this shyt is chic he, been there done that but I feel like I can go into great detail about these issues. I really want the book to be a conversation piece that peeps can discuss beyond a high school level. (even tho I dropped and college is'nt appealing) It's going to take years but I believe in myself.
Here's a lil bit...
Main character single mother finds a Verizon Palm Treo 700p (ballin!) on Pat Bus. Instead of keeping it (she has a Cricket) she decides to return it to the owner not out of goodness but desperate greed, fantasizing and hoping to reap a nice financial reward for her supposed good dead but is rewarded with something with a value so high, there is no price.
