how many people are writing books how many people have been inspired to write a book after another book they read and what is its title? just curious cuz wherever i see people are writing books my best friends my aunt my swimteam couch my gym teacher and now millions of people on the internet!most of my bf are writing books because they read the book twilight and now they want to write their own vampire story sheesh give me a break i mean yeah its okay to write a book but how much you wanna bet your story is going to be just like twilight a matter of fact exact copy exept the person or setting might be different.
its true that they are writing stories but then they wouldnt be saying oh i cant wait until this is published and oh i cant wait until i find an agent to puvlish my book and somtimes oh i cant wait until some famous director reads my book and makes it into a movie people you havent even finished the book for gods sake….
their is really nothing wrong about writing a book its just that sooo many people are writing books (in my life ) after reading another book its painful to see them brag and start writing books just because they read a book sorry if i offended you or hurt yr feelings ricky s i dont mean to offend anybody.

There are some people who would like to write a book because, well, they just love to write. And ther are others who write because of, like you said, inspiration, fame, money, or just for the sake of being published.

Frankly it’s hard to figure out just how many peole are writing a book, because I can guarantee you that half of them would give up, leave the manuscript unfinished and find a new hobby to do. Sorry, but it’s true. Those who have time to commit themselves into building their plot, planning their characters and putting a lot of passion and energy into their writing, then it’s possible that they can have a chance.

If they want to write a book, then by all means let them! =) Just a warning to them that writing just a manuscript alone and expecting to get accepted and published is not as easy as they think.

  1. Something over 100 times as many people as end up finishing writing it.

    1% of books which are started are ever finished. 1% of the finished ones are published. There’s absolutely nothing wrong in writing for fun – as harmless educational hobbies go, it’s pretty near the top – but these people are not writing books, they are writing stories.

  2. Your question was painful to read.

    I’ve been inspired by books to write my own stories, but I haven’t read Twilight or anything, though, and don’t plan to. I’m rather tired of hearing about Twilight.

  3. I remember reading a Danielle Steele book, and thought it was so bad, that I could do a better job myself.

  5. People express themselves in many different ways . Some paint , some knit , some bake , some build models , some play music , and some write . If you don’t understand why anyone would want to write , then maybe it’s just not your thing . There is no need to get all worked up about it .

  6. Most people write cos the like to. SOme because they think they will become famous because of it. Well like you said after reading a book aor watching a movie, people have the urge to write, only 1/10 will finish the story/book and 1/20 will publish it. But After reading books I do want to write something like them but I never finish it….
