I am convinced that everybody has at least one good book in them. That is to say that everyone has enough stories to at least write one good book (if not more). I have been trying to write this one good book forever. It's harder than it sounds. The one thing I did do though, was come up with a good title. My book will be called "Crying In The Closet", because I do some of my best crying in the closet. It will be based on my life using stories from all the things that sent me to the closet to cry. They aren't all sad stories, we do cry for happy things sometimes. But the problem is ...... that's all I've come up with, the title. In fact, I've come up with a few titles. I guess I'm just a title author. Not all of them for books I would write though. Some are for books I think others should write. Like my daughter.
Sara is 26 and has 2 children and lives in the Pocono mountains with her boyfriend Ryan. I think her book should be "I've Had Enough of Reality, I'm Moving Back To Boca". She is definitly not a "mountain" girl. She'll run to the grocery store in her Uggs and her Juicy Couture bag. I keep telling her she needs to write a book. It reminds me of Green Acres. She has no idea what I'm talking about, she's never seen Green Acres.
A good book for my boyfriend Jimmy is "I'd Love You Even If You Had A Hole In Your Head". This title came to me from something Sara said once. She said, "Mom, Jimmy would love you even if you had a hole in your head". I know she was supporting Jimmy, but something about me with a whole in my head just didn't give me the sense of love I was counting on. But still, a good title.
Another good book title would be, "Did I Tell You The One About .............. ", for my boss who is always telling me stories about his life. And of course, like a good employee I sit transfixed while I hear the one about the frat boys for the third time. So, I think he should put all his stories in a book you see. Win, win for everyone.
I know I'll never write that book. But it's ok. I get to write here. But if someone ever needs a title, hey, I've got a million of them.
