I'm going to (try to) write a book

Yes. You read correctly. A book. Why? Because I have a better chance of getting a book turned into a movie than actually trying to talk to a rich old man to convince him that my story (idea) would be good.

I mean, I've practically got the story all thought out. Well not all, but I'm still thinking. Anyway, I'm just thinking that this story is great. Dramatic. Violent. Fun.

Then problem is, I'm just not a good (book) story writer. I'm more of an idea person. Like telling a person what to do, put what where, how to do it. I'm not that great with words. My vocabulary isn't enourmous like most book writers. Like, if I had the money, I'd hire a real book writer to write it out professionally for me, while I tell him/her my vision (a.k.a. What happens - That happens there - etc). If I can do that, then this would be one hell of a book, and an even better movie since my original vision is for a movie, and not a book.

You know how people say "The book is always better than the movie"? Well not in this case. Since I envisioned it being a movie first, I already have certain scenes thought out. I even have how the movie begins, thought out perfectly. Flawless! But you see, there's my problem. Actually getting it turned into a movie without even having a script to show somebody.

I need to do a bit more research and see what I can do, and hopefully (even though it'll be very unlikely) find a real book writer to write it out (professionally) for me. I'm even willing to let them add to the story themselves in the sake of making it better.

On a side note: I've been digging through the settings of this blog, and opened comments up for anybody/everybody (unregistered users can comment now I believe) and fixed the timezone.

I'm great with words. Too bad my vocabulary isn't English... Good luck with the book.
