The Original Brillance of an Idea

Spelling be damned ! Did you ever have one of those ideas that maybe people have planted into your head before, but you totally ignore it until you just "discovered" it for yourself randomly ?
Well last night i was laying on the couch, reading some not totally trashy romance novel and watching Sex in the City and it came to me... i should write a book. And in it should be part fiction, part non fiction.. basically about my life, because for the most part lets face it, it's a dramatic read. I suppose I'd have to indulge myself a bit and continue writing until a happy ending could be achieved so we'd have 2 choices, either leave the ending as it stands when the book reaches THIS day in my life, OR simply make up an ending. There are pieces of my life that would fall under scrutiny if i were to put them right out there in print, but i guess someone always has a argument for something. Jeremy would pitch a fit if i included some fiction into parts that he'd interpret as the truth, and others would as well... so could i effectively write a book that i could be both truthful and a bit deceiving in without letting it be known it was me ? YES ! A PEN NAME APPEARS ! I can write about my life, as someone else, and who's to say it couldn't happen, if no one knew i wrote it, then no one could actually argue with my fact vs fiction perception now could they ?

So now i simply have to figure out where to start, do i start as an outsider telling my own story and start from the end then recant back to the beginning, or do i simply start at the beginning... the facts no matter what are simply this... Sometimes it's the Journey, sometimes the Destination. Sometimes it's the Effort,sometimes it's the Result. And with that simple thought we have the original brilliant idea.
