HELP ME WRITE A BOOK!

[willow2]

I would really like to write a book about something but have no idea what I should write about. Imagine it will be based around something to do with parenting but not really sure; frankly, it could end up being recipes for sandwiches. Any suggestions?

Additionally, once I've chosen a subject matter from the ones posted, I'll be far too busy to be bothered to do any of the research. If I post here could you lot do everything for me?

I will, of course, give Mumsnet a few quid. But apart from that, if the book takes off, I'll take all the money and the credit. If it doesn't I will hold you all personally responsible.

You seem a very reasonable lot so I expect a big response.

No idea what topic Willow, but Suzywong has a v active imagination, and is v good with words.

Ha ha ha spot on!
This tendency to get mumsnetters to do all the legwork has been irritating me. The odd request for one thing is okay but some people seem to be using mumsnet to get a complete book together! Well cheeky, I think!

You've just proved the point lou33!

Willow maybe you could write a review of bras.

Now there's an idea - can everybody tell me everything they know about them, ever?

(oh and I want a few quid myself for my input pls)

They stop your tits dangling around your waist
They come in lots of colours and styles
I prefer balconette myself
Coddy and Beety are very bossy about them

Money? You want money? Next thing you'll be asking for a writer's credit...

Sorry Bettys, that was tongue in cheek, relating to a conversation with suzywong earlier. She does have a good imagination though !

Ooh, neat! What about "The Sandwich Method of Parenting"? You could have routines built around sandwiches, sandwiches for various behaviour problems, eg tantrums, sleep issues and sandwiches that give a child everything he or she needs nutrition wise. You could include recipes such as: Sleepy Time Bread which proofs the yeast with Benadryl, The Fussy Eater, which would use cannabis leaves instead of basil on the tomatoes and Get Some Self Esteem Salad with sprinkles of cocaine.

Or you could write the "Parenting Method of Making Sandwiches", although it'd be short: take two slices of white bread, slap on some bologna and cut in half, if you have the time.

Good work JJ, you obviously have what I need, will have to email you off thread at this rate

Benadryl's no good for Sleepy Bread - it's non drowsy. Piriton plus Medised is what you need.

In fact, that can be my book "101 Ways to Sedate Your Children".

I'd buy it!

It would be interesting to see how many of those "I'm writing a book..." really ended being part of a book. Does Mumsnet knows if such books habe been published?

Soup - I think you'll find that's my book... I've already copyrighted the format.

haBe? HaBBBBBe??? Dear God, forget about writing a book, I can't even write the word HAVE....

Do you want my recipe for Medised Soup then, Willow?

Oh, go on then - swap you for my phenergan stew.

What about "The Sandwich Method of Making Parents" a sex manual/recipe book?

..and while you're at it, could you please come round & clean my house and bring up my children

Bundle, I don't think you've grasped what I'm after. You do everything for me. OK?

Right. I want to write a book too. Ermmmmm......no i can't be arsed to even finish this reque

ha ha ha
