Auteur

Please tell me I didn't butcher the french word for author...is that it in the title?

Anyways -- if you were an author, what would your first book be about? It can be fiction or non-fiction and about anything you think you would write about. How many chapters would it have? What would it explore?

I would want to write a book about education analyzing the way kids learn and teaching teachers more effective ways of engaging students in learning. I would also want to write a book about my sister-in-law's experiences with breast cancer or my sister's experience with infertility and then giving birth to a premature baby. I also have dreams of writing about travel, but sometimes travel writing can get boring, so I am not sure about this one.

I guess I would write fiction short stories because I like imaginary stories such as The Giver. Also, the stories would not be related to each other by this technique so that the reader may read it till the end.

I think I would write about my experiences but i would convert them into a fiction novel =)) Just like retelling the non-fictional events with fictional characters and places... But the main event and idea would just remain the same.

My first novel would be non fiction and I would be inspired by the things I experienced. For example If I'm writing my book at my age now, the book won't be about an adult because I don't know the feeling to be old. Also my first book wouldn't be very long because I wouldn't want the reader to be scared to read a long book which is written by someone they haven't heard before.
