Question: I want to be an author maybe some day!.!.!.I'm 17, any tips!?
Nick Hornby and JD Salinger are among my heroes and I've got a few book ideas:

*A memior about my fanatical rooting for the Yankees!.!.!.similar to Fever Pitch for Hornby

*A student falls in love with his teacher and the teacher falls in love with the student yet neither knows about either loving each other!.!.!.eventually they figure it out and just cant make it work!.

*A story about a middle aged man who is having an affair with a woman in her early 20's and has to hide it from his wife!. Yet she knows about it and refuses to do anything!.!.!.except have an affair with a man in his early 20's!.!.!.

What do you think about those ideas!?!? Any tips!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
