My Book

If I were to write a book, I would write something completely fictional. I wouldn’t write about myself or any of my life experiences, as I don’t have anything worth sharing with the world anyway. I doubt that I will actually ever write a book, but if I did, here’s what it would be about:

The main character of the book would be a successful, yet a very busy woman, who loves her job dearly. She has no intentions of getting married or starting a family. All she cares about: her job and her social status. She doesn’t have many friends, apart from her acquaintances form work. Her life is so and organised and consistent, and her days are very routinely and barely anything exciting happens in her life. Her parents had passed away when she was 18, just when she started university. That would be the reason why she’s exceptionally independent.

However, one day on a business trip, she gets into a ghastly car accident. She survives but with severe amnesia that causes her to forget almost every single detail of her life. Doctors say that it would take her at least 8 or 9 months for her to start remembering who she is.  After her long stay in the hospital, she goes on to live with her sister, who she hasn’t spoken to since high school. Her sister would be almost the complete opposite of her. She (the sister) lives a simple, yet a really happy life with her husband and children.

Due to a series of incidents, main character realises how lonely her life is (when she starts to slowly regain her memory), and how important family life actually is. She also realises that life isn’t just about money and work, but having friends and little fun would also make life worthwhile. Most importantly she finds out that throughout the toughest times in your life; your friends might out leave you to drown in your problems, and the only people that would actually take the time to help you out would be your family.

What I would also like the book to say is that, one day, everyone will grow old. And then, it would be nice if you have family (children and grandchildren) that would take care of you or visit you every now and then. Also, when you look back at your life, you would regret not having fun and enjoyable experiences when you had the chance to.

When I read reading a book, I like it when there is something that at least bring a smile to my face so whil writing the novel, I would try to throw something funny in there every now and then.

I believe this novel would classified under the realistic/ fiction / slightly comedy genre.
