My biographt would have to be written by James Michener. This is because in order to get it right, it would have to start when at the beginning of time.
My biography would sell at least one copy - I would buy it just so I would not get skunked.
Hmmmm, I'm not sure I want any writer to know all that stuff. It's bad enough that I know it!
William Shakespeare, I don't think it will sell at all.
OSAMA IS AT IT THIS MORNING. HE KEPT THE BLOG FROM OPENING AFTER
ABOUT 1/2 WAY. I DON'T KNOW ANY AUTHORS SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE
AN AUTO........ ANYHOO.
Were she still alive, Erma Bombeck. She would have added much more humor to my life and yes, it probably would be a best seller then.
Or current day authors:
Mitch Albom (tells a good story and would fill it full of good messages)
or
Rick Bragg (if he could go back in time to the days when my ancestors were living a rough life - Migrating from Ireland and then working the Chisholm trial to Texas or on my Father's side, storing horses for the James brothers in Missouri)
My biographer would be Jodi Picoult, and, like Bronco, it would sell four copies: one to me, one to my parents, one to my brother, and one to my sister. That's it. My family would only buy it because it was about me, and we all support eachother.
GUMDROP A LOT LATER====WONDER WHAT
CIN DID TO THE BLOG===IT IS WORKING GREAT NOW. I WOULD PICK AN AUTHOR THAT WAS KNOWN FOR GREAT BOOKS, THEN I WOULD GIVE HER POETIC
LICENSE TO WRITE WHATEVER SHE
THOUGHT WOULD SELL THE MOST BOOKS,
THE MOST MOVIES ETC.,ETC. IT WOULD
BE ON THE TOP OF THE BEST SELLER
LIST RIGHT BEHIND THE BIBLE FOR
UMPTY LEVENTY YEARS. AND EVERY ONE
WOULD SAY "NO VANITY TO THAT BOY"
I'm not sure who the author would be. I might have to let Belly write it because I'm not sure anyone else could understand me enough. LOL
It would have to sell a bunch of copies, no doubt about that, the only thing is I'm not sure people would believe it wasn't fiction. My life has not been boring.
Actually, while there are many great authors that come to mind, the first being James Michener, for the exaustive research into my life, I would not choose to have a book written. This is the media age, I would have Ken Burns do a multi-part (I think 30 parts ought to do it), documentary film series on my life to air on PBS stations around the country, available on DVD. It would eclipse his masterworks on Civil War, Jazz and Baseball. PBS stations would never require further funding from all of the pledges they would receive from its airing. WOW, I better go get a Diet Coke to calm this euphoria...
Anne Rice! Because she could make my life much more sensual then the reality of it all!
