No. Papers are hard enough, and the slog to get those published outside SSRN is miserable. Unless you have a cooperative publishing house getting a book out the door would be a nightmare.
yes, I just have no idea what it'd be about, so for now it's journaling, newsletters, and armchair philosophizing on WSO
Remember that epic post you wrote about how to throw parties as an adult? That's a book waiting to happen. I'd read your how-to guide on just about anything.
I always appreciate you Layne, if there's ever a first draft, I'd rather read your feedback than my mother's. stay tuned
As Layne pointed out, can we get a link to how to party as adults?

I just reread that, brought back some nice memories
Maybe if the right topic piqued my interest enough. I've always struggled with the idea of how to come up with enough verbiage to fill a book though. Always had an issue with essays and paper lengths in HS and college. Hard to imagine having to put together something 100x as long
I write too many books. They are just called CIMs.
I hold stock in CIM. It's done absolute shit for the last decade. I hope you mean something different.
CIM = Confidential Information Memorandum
It would be cool, but not knowledgeable in any one area (yet). I do like to write, but I also get easily bored and don’t know if I could sit and write an actual book.
I tried. My dad was always on my case in HS to try and do something newsworthy so I could get into a better college. I ignored most of his suggestions because he was just trying to push me towards STEM, but I decided to try and write a book after his suggestion. I got 40 pages in writing about the plight of an immigrant, and then I just didn't really continue. It was a lot of fun to write that amount, but it takes a LOT of stamina to write a whole full complete book.
Yes. In the works.
What’s it about?
life, careers, relationships, business
Ye some sex stuff maybe like fantasies for women i dont know seems to sell really good
We could work together. I'm thinking 50 Shades mixed with something like Dirty Dancing. It's about a college student trying to break into finance, who falls in love with an older women, who happens to be a retired dancer. He rewakens her old spirit and something... more nefarious inside her. We can call it "Dancing in Chains" or something.
Sounds like a porno
We’ll call it ‘Dirty Shades’
yes I've had a strange life with lots of turns
I wrote one in college.
It was about this crazy bicycle trip I did when I was 16 and I realized that without detailing all the things that happened to me, I'd very likely forget 95% of what happened. It was also very introspective as it was a memoir of sorts and it really got me to think about things beyond my day-to-day.
It definitely was a lot of work but so rewarding seeing it published on Amazon and it ended up inspiring a few family members and friends to write their own little memoirs, which was a nice side-effect.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone who may have some spare time (hour a day) and wants to embark on a very introspective journey.
let's be honest with ourselves here, none of you nerds have done anything worth writing about.
It's a pipe dream of mine to write a "realistic" Sci-Fi novel or series.
I have wanted to do this since I was a teenager and read Ender's Game and Dune for the first time (two of my favorite books) have the loose plotlines/universe mapped out in my head. But I have no fucking idea if I'll ever get around to it, or if it would even be remotely worth reading.
Ever since I read ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ in high school, I’ve wanted to write my own book. I have this whole world and a bunch of characters, even what the story may look like. Still haven’t written a page.
Love ASOAIF. HATE GoT.
You gonna go big like GRRM and have a universe so deep with so many character arcs to complete that you can't finish the storyline?
I think screenplays are cool too. There are two screenplays I'd like to write.
My friend writes screenplays in NYC and I have proofed some of his stuff. It would be pretty baller to write a good one and sell it. I find this prospect very interesting and compelling.
