Do you run a Tattoo Parlour or something?
You seem to be always "pushing " Tattooing.

Why are you so interested in tattoo's and mainly post and talk all about about them more than any other subject? o_O
Very topical these days, but we can certainly talk a whole lot of other topics. (Actually @Mjh29 posted about it on another thread; hence my reference to it here also; he was looking for topics.)

I have wanted for some time to write a book, but just haven't had the time. I recently have had the time, but no inspiration as to a topic that would be worthy of a book. Any ideas? I am looking for a topic that is general enough to write a decent sized [90-100 pg] book on. Open to ideas.
Reminds me of a story of a guy who climbed up a mountain to ask a holy man what the meaning of life was. To which the holy man answered: "Go down the mountain and get a job shoveling yak manure."

Confused the man asked, "What then?"

The holy man answered, "When you have had enough of shoveling yak manure, then...just live."


Do some shoveling. The book will come when it and you are ready.

@"ByGrace" PS: I have myself struggle to get into C S Lewis...

For me his best is "The Narnia Chronicles" ..I thought The Screwtape Letters was excellent and revealing mans fight.
I didn't like "Surprised By Joy" ...I found that hard work.

Although I quite like the title, 'Surprised by joy', I do find his writings hard to follow.

My dad was an avid reader...so he instilled it in us.
At 14 I read all of Charles Dickens...and all the Classics etc..not easy reading....so when I got saved and he gave me heavy Christian works to read..it was no problem. C.S. Lewis was a breeze...
I loved Gene Edwards books too... and all of Watchman Nee's. I still have all of his. I don't agree with some things ..but I still appreciate his writings.

Seems like you do read a lot; I'm not surprised because your comments are very wide ranging...

Watchman Nee is very good. I cut my teeth on his books. I would encourage anyone to read his books, especially 'The Spiritual Man'.

I think you should figure out a title on your own. Else it won't be yours. If you can't figure out a title on your own, perhaps you should rethink about writing a book.

Don't you want it to be original?

I have always wanted to do a biography of God and the many aspects of His character.....i.e....The Alpha and Omega, The I AM, Father, Sovereign King.....etc.
