My novel would be amazing, because I'm awesome! It would be about my life, from birth to present day. I would tell my most awesomest stories (which is pretty much every single story I have to tell), so it would be pretty long. I would totally use the illustration method that Alexie uses in his novels, because I think it makes for a more interesting read. Also, I would do the illustrations myself, because why hire someone to do it for me and have to split my profits with them? LAME!
I would use my experiences from my life and they would be relatable to teens because I feel that the way I write is pretty relatable to people. It is easy to read and I tell it "like it is." Therefore, it will be an easy read for everyone.
Kids and adults would totally buy my book because it would be critically acclaimed on all of the Best Seller lists. I would probably write it like I normally write, which is humorous. It may have some bad words and some parts that would make it banned in high schools, but it would be okay and probably allowed to be read because I am awesome and my book would be so good! And of course we can't forget that Hollywood would come knocking at my door for rights to the movie! I would probably want to write the screenplay as well though, because my life can't be summarized. There would definitely be sequels. And Britney Spears would be in my movie because she's awesome and talented! =D

I really like your idea for a young adolescent novel Aaron. Yes I completly agree that you are awesome and will write a book about yourself because you are so awesome. Plus the fact that you want to do your own illustrations is another key point into creating a novel that fits you perfectly! I feel that your book would probably be banned and I have a question would Britney Spears be playing herself in the movies?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Liz is probably right; your novel may be one that gets banned. But usually stories that get banned are the ones that people find more interesting and easier to read and relate to. I like how you mention bringing your novel to life in a movie. In this day and age, not too many adolescents even read anymore so if they see the movie and enjoy it then maybe that would encourage them to sit down and read the novel because there is usually a significant amount of differences between novels and movies and how the reader/viewer feels the storyline. But instead of one long book or movie, maybe a series would be cool. Like how Nancy drew has like a million and one books to keep track of all her adventures. By the way, I also had the same thought about the illustrations business, I mean come on- do it yourself! More money!
