Hi

New guy here saying hello to all and nice to be here. I recently found out that there is a part in me that like to write, it eases my mind. I will be going through the many threads in this forum and ask a few question, this looks like the right place to do so.

I haven't written a book yet, but thats the plan. I like writing short articles on whatever comes to mind and adding my pix to them, I love photography even though I'm a beginner.

I don't have a specific topic that I like to write about, but I'm kind of interested in conspiracies, they fascinate me, fiction and non-fiction alike.
If anybody has a good idea for a book/article on the subject for me or even a link to something new on the topic, please share.

Thanks

One small grammar suggestion. 'I haven't WRITTEN an book yet...' When writing it's best to get into the habit of writing correctly.

But as for conspiracies. There have been so many of them in history, from Brutus to Guy Fawkes. I know of a plot by a whole tribe in PNG to exterminate their neighbouring tribe. They invited their 'guests' to a feast on the banks of the Yellow River and, on a signal, turned to the man on the left and cut his throat. Not known to them, one man survived because he had been sick. When he heard of the event he fled to a friendly tribe. Later he did his best in a one-man action to avenge is people. There must be lots of things like this all over the world you can use as the basis of a story.

Good luck.

Thanks Mumut,

I definitely have to check out that tribe story, sounds really interesting.
About the correct writing, you're absolutely right, I should make a habit out of it, but didn't you want to write 'I haven't WRITTEN a book yet...' and not I haven't WRITTEN AN book yet...'
Anyways, thanks for the good tips and thanks Nickie.
