Coming up with ideas for my own book has been really difficult for me to think of. Do I represent my life as a whole? Or who I am now? Do I include meaningless quotes? Or events that define me? After giving it some thought, I have decided to try and focus on a bit of everything.
I don't want to revolve my book around one aspect of my life, I am so much more than just one part of me. Obviously some things will be missing, or my book could go on for thousands and thousands of pages. But, I want to briefly touch among many things.
At first glance, my book may be kind of confusing, but thankfully I have this blog to help me better explain my ideas to my readers. I was looking through 'modified books' on Google, and I found many great ideas that really helped widen my own horizons when it comes to thinking of possible book ideas.
I really, really like the idea of starting off with a book that has already been written for many ideas.
1. It gives me a starting point. I can then change it into whatever I deem appropriate.
2. It puts limits on my own artistic abilities and allows me to expand and see how much freedom and imagination I have.
3. We as people are not blank pages. When we are born we already have a past, our parents past effects how we will grow up, there opinions will have an influence on ours, and the way they live there life will dictate the way we begin ours. As children we do not have much say, our story begins already half written. When we become older we finish our story, we can then choose to break free and do what we want, but we can not erase the past, we can hide it, lie about it, forget it, or embrace it. But it will remain, written in those pages is your story, and no matter how you modify it, it will still remain the same.
So, that's why I have chosen to modify a book, I feel it best represents my opinion on life.
On another note, I found a lot of awesome ideas on Google! So, I'm gonna share some of them on here. I'm sure my final copy will look nothing like any of these pictures, but its a good starting point.
