(!!! LOL ha ha ).<br /><br />In the unlikely event that anything I write gets committed to paper, it will not be an autobiography anyway, so the thing about 'pre-published' doesn't affect me either way. I am only sixty, so I have the rest of my life to look forward to, and I hate it when superstars like David Beckham prematurely put their unnoteworthy experiences to date into a book.<br /><br />I think I'll call this, 'Diary of a Ghostwriter'.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-48465503029137829372011-09-12T18:31:45.156-07:002011-09-12T18:31:45.156-07:00Tom, of course you can publish it because it has b...Tom, of course you can publish it because it has been done. Recently in fact. By "The Pioneer Woman Blog," she wrote her story of how she met her husband. It was in many short stories. It was picked up and was made into a memoir. She does have quite the following however. She is probably making tons of money from that site. I adore your last line about your mother. Very fine writing as always. Joe keeps me up to date if I fall behind.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-82453765777486276172011-09-12T16:05:37.361-07:002011-09-12T16:05:37.361-07:00I suppose you could call your book simply "St...I suppose you could call your book simply "Stoned".

They are well worthy of a book and definitely one I'd want to read. The idea I have for a title is an expression used frequently around here - 'Stone Me'. Oh well whatever title you decide, keep writing, they're good.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-10306463967048579642011-09-12T07:25:10.868-07:002011-09-12T07:25:10.868-07:00Here are the results of my 30 seconds worth of bra...Here are the results of my 30 seconds worth of brain storming for your book title:<br /><br />- Written in Stone<br /><br />- A Chip of the Old Block<br /><br />- Stone Cold<br /><br />- Shaping up Nicely<br /><br />- Much Ado in Bath<br /><br />- The Artist in Me<br /><br />(O.k.
