    I'm actually co-writing a book but that's because it's my job :D It's a scientific book on development and environmental policy. I don't know if I really want to talk about it when I'm in WB lol ;)

    @SleepingWithNuns: Cool, what will it be about?

    I'm currently writing a YA (young adult) book.

    @ditaaaaa That's cool. :)

    My book will be about a girl who is addicted to drugs (probably cocaine as her choice drug), her experiences, and why she is addicted. 

    What is your's about?

    @SleepingWithNuns: Well, it's a paranormal romance...no, not like Twilight, heh. Although the same genre, yes. Also, it's about two teenage guys, because it seems like there's not enough YA for gay teens.

    There's another book I'm writing, also YA, sort of a take on Rosemary's Baby, which is an AWESOME book.

    @Badass Bride  @cuendillar: I'm working on a YA book as well. It was inspired by my three week honeymoon in Ireland. I've hand written about 170 pgs of the first draft since June...but only about 70 of those are typed so far, haha. Editing will be "fun!"

    A great site for feedback is YA Lit Chat, which has a weekly twitter chat as well as a web community with lots of agents/editors/authors involved. :)

    I'm working on three fantasy novels that I've been fleshing out in my head for years. It's slow going. When I feel like working on them, I don't have the time, and when I have the time I never feel like working on them, lol.

    One is all-out fantasy, about a planet as improbable as the Discworld. I'm writing a conlang for that one as well. The other two are more alternate reality type plots.

    I'm working on a novel set in NZ in 1989. It's loosely based on my mother's life.

    @7mom: Dont get discouraged! 40 pages is still 40 pages :) Many people never even get that far.

    None of my attempted novels have made it past the two page point, haha.

    But I am editing my SO's book.  He's published 2 books, but this is his first complete novel, and I've spent so much time on it I feel like it's mine too.  When his mom asked what it was about he looked at me and I was like, errr, "WELL, IT'S KIND OF ABOUT....."

    It's hard work.  

    Also, @Badass Bride:  I LOVE paranormal romance.  The non-Twlight kind.  Although I've always thought that, given a sturdy line-edit, Twilight could be a sweet novella or short story.  Have you read J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series?

    I'm working on a contemporary romance and a time travel romance. I've been working on them for a long time... not sure when I will finish them.

    I'm writing a book.  It's a road novel.  Would love to chat with anyone else who's writing a book, if you need help editing or just to keep on track!  PM me if so.

    I've started writing one, another YA fantasy, inspired by JRR Tolkien, but with a modern spin and Christian based. Yep it's a bit different, but yeah it's mine. Will I publish it? Not unless I get it really going lol.

    I'm working on one (have been for the last year or so) that's probably best classified as 'contemporary fiction', but I'm starting over for National Novel Writing Month. Is anyone else participating? I'm not sure how I feel about the time crunch of 50,000 words in a month, but its worth a shot.
