Yeah, I want to write an actual book. Do I have the skill necessary?


Lemme' get into the concept I have. It struck me hard when high yesterday. . .



I want to make a book about a few high school students getting high--having "High Circles", if you may. It will most likely be entirely driven on strong characters and the humor of "High Conversation."





Would that be something you'd buy if made and published?

Honestly, no. There'd have to be something more to the book than just being about getting high for me to buy it.

That's assuming the bulk of people who read get high. I don't, so I need something else.

That's just the main concept. I am almost certain that there will be more to the book. Since I don't create plots, however--I just write and let the randomness take control--there will most likely be content other than getting high.

One problem with the concept is that your target audience doesn't stereotypically buy a lot of books. >_>

>.> True.



But yeah, other content will include the stress and frustration of high school, relationships, family issues, etc.

So essentially your book is

I don't think I'd read it.

You're concept would make a GREAT movie, not a book. Would you have READ Dazed and Confused? No.


Btw, that movie owns.
