I'll try not to make this too long.
I've been working on a project I had originally intended to be a sort of "generation book" for millennials explaining us in "our" own words, with me as a sort of presenter. I failed miserably at getting a decent amount of submissions of perspectives on a survey I made too long, so now I'm trying to do the same thing, only less crowdsourced. I'm starting with what Gen Y thinks of the politics of our lifetimes. No one born in the 90s was too involved with the stuff then, so I'm starting with George W Bush, 9/11, and the War on Terror, but it's coming out as a history even on my second try. I'm thinking maybe I don't have a solid enough concept of what I want the book to be or how to make it worth writing. Would anyone make some suggestions on what I should do - either how to write this or how to figure out what I want to write?
