I have a few ideas that I have been toying with about a book and I know there are allot of people here who write books or articles for magazines and it would HELP me allot.

I need to feel like I did something with my life before I pass it by and haven't did anything with my life to say that I was proud of.

Of course the family thing is awsome but nothing to say or leave something for people to remember me by and say hey that helped me learn something new about modeling.

I have enjoyed modeling for a long time and it helped me through some rough times and I feel like I should give something back to what has done alot for me.

Thanks

Happy Modeling

Deep within all of us lies the Great American Novel....
Either fiction or non-fiction is great.... as long as you are enjoying the time writting it.
Go for it Tom.... and even if you can't find a publisher, or the million dollar deal, slap it on a CD in PDF... and sell it on line.
A very sincere Good Luck.....

My father has written a book and has found a small scale publisher that will help do the publishing side.
By small scale I mean small in numbers and for lesser known writers. So, in that sense it's a very 'doable' thing. I'll get some information later today and post it.

It's a how to book with a untapped resource of products and some awsome ways that I have used them since finding the products.

I think it's a cheaper way and a more controled over your own model instead of at the hands of your products you use from major companies produceing stuff you use now.
