I'm thinking about writing a book on coin hunting and collecting.

I'm thinking about writing a book on coin hunting and collecting. I want a thread that can help me as I go. I would like helpful advice, opinions on parts of the book, and other things that I might want or need along the way.

Do you have enough experience to be able to do that at age 13?

 

You take care of old people and you are a nurse? Answer: I wanted to try it out. It will only be an Ebook and this thread is supposed to help me as I go.

 

@cpm9ball may have some good thoughts. He is a HUGE fan of "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change"...

 

Oh by the way, If you are a satanist I am aethiest.

 

thanks for that. I have heard of that book and would have gotten it if I had the money at the time.

 

Please.. CoinTalk is not the place to talk about peoples beliefs.. That's why it is CoinTalk

 

Well, that sort of attitude is certainly not going to win you many friends. Seems like the wrong approach if you are asking for help. But then, I have observed that the younger generation thinks they know everything and have no respect for age or experience.

A simple answer of "I'm not sure but I would like to try" would have gained a lot more enthusiasm to help. Don't think I will be offering much more to this thread.

 

Sorry I triggered you.

 

OK, sorry. I wasn't trying to come off with the wrong impression. It is just that I asked if you took care of old people and you're a nurse because I googled vna and ana and it said stuff about taking care of old people and nurses. And I said that thing about if you're a satanist because on you profile, your status is devilish and under that it said devil's advocate. That is my reasoning.

 

Clearly very little world experience. And how can you write a book about coins if you don't even know what VNA and ANA means!

 

Hell, I thought is was something you needed antibiotics for, leave the kid alone. At least he has guts enough to apologize.

 

OK sakata, I get that you're older than me but take a chill pill. And accept that I don't want to stay on the wrong foot after I get off on it.

 

Instead of bashing me for not knowing what VNA and ANA means you could have just told me.

 

I did make this thread for helping me write a book now didn't I.

 

Here's one advice since you are new - you don't burn bridges.

 

I hate myself for this since I am pretty smart. Remind me what that idiom means.

 

Is "I’m glad that you chose my book to help you along your coin hunting and collecting journey." a good first sentence in an authors note?

 

It sounds to me like you want us to write the book and you'll put your name on it.

 

No, that isn't how I roll. I'm actually creating a quick draft that so far has an incomplete outline of the chapters that i will write describing what each chapter will contain. I do my own work and have pride in it. It just doesn't hurt to ask for help.
