   Writing a book is hard work. There is so much research to be done if I am going to write a decent novel, and not just one kind of research. I have to delve deep into history, master the human mind, and know several Middle Eastern religions inside and out if I am going to pull this off, and this is just my first novel! Knowing how to type properly would also help, but- like that's going to happen.

    I guess I don't really know what its like to really put my brain to work. I probably wouldn't be able to memorize all the buttons in a video game if it wasn't a visual experience, let alone form complicated plots and prolific twists like seems to come naturally to great authors like Neil Gaiman and Haruki Murakami. So, I have to find a way to make it deep while keeping it simple, otherwise I'll confuse myself like the writers of Lost and have to add polar bears and secret domes all over the place in order to patch up plot holes.

    Oh yeah, and I still need characters.

    I wonder if I can write a bunch of kick-ass books that will inspire video games like Tom Clany's Splinter Cell (and Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., Tom Clancy's EndWar, etc...). Speaking of which, I wonder what Tom Clancy did right to prevent people from just making video games based on his ideas and claiming they had never read his books?

    In that same vein, I am SURE I could write great video game books like the ones based off of Halo and Mass Effect. Should I just start a FanFic page and see where it takes me? Hmm, what's that you say? Nowhere? Oh.

    I have no idea where to start.
