Seriously?
I haven't thought about it yet. Only now.
Looking back I never had any desire to write a book at all. I just thought of writing down thoughts and hope someone gets encouraged or inspired through things I randomly think about. I admit I'm too lazy to even care about random strangers spotting my write-ups online. All I care about is that people close to me gets in touch with my own thought patterns...and get amused, be entertained, get informed, get educated...well I think they know what I want to say.
For me writing a book is setting aside plenty of time to sit down, think about a central theme, think of specific chapters that leads to the central theme, never stop thinking about the central theme, convince a publisher with the central theme, and attract readers through the central theme.
If you've noticed, I mentioned the words "central theme" 5 times in that sentence. So what's the central theme? I think that's the first major step in order for someone to be able to come up with a book.
Right now, I have no idea on what central theme I'd like to dwell on. And as I said, I have no plans to write a book at all. Maybe in the future. But right now, I just want to write for the sake of expressing myself.
But on the contrary, what I wanted to say could be a good topic to publish a book about. The "why I should not write a book at all" centered book. Ironic.
