Yes!
I don't exactly know how I got this particular fixation. I want to write a book.

I wanted to go through the process, more than anything else. The whole shebang of coming up with a concept
for a book, dividing up the chapters, making the book grow one page, paragraph, line, word at a time.

Getting other people to read the said book is not an aim. I will never even consider this. Thus, I am free of
all social obligations. I will definitely put it up online somewhere, probably while its being written.
Being a CS nerd makes this easy. (LateX, svn, interwebs...).

In Tamil, we have a proverb, rather a challenge - "Try to build a house, try to execute a marriage".
I will not do either in my life, for sure.  But a book? Maybe,

I am sure I will get a kick out of it, given that there is no deadline, pressure, obligation or rules.
The only rule I want to stick to is - the end product must be a book. It must be written that way.
It must not be something that was "put together" as a book. (A book of blog entries, an
anthology of poems, dictionary). But, must be built from the ground up as a book
(my definition - you will not be able to get the individual pieces elsewhere prior to
the book).

There is no other structural requirement - It might not be a single, big fat novel. Probably
sizable chunks that have a common theme (I am a Tarantino fan). Might be non-fiction.
No constraints on style either. I would prefer for the process to be pleasing to me.
I will stop the moment when I find its not fun anymore (even if not a single word was
actually written!).

I have decided on the structure of the book - it will be like a bunch of "reports". Some will be
based on fact, some purely fiction.But it will not be evident just from reading the report what
class it belongs to. There might be a subliminal thread that connects some of them/all of them.
I don't know yet.

I will blog about it, again, once I reach the next step. Again, that might be a lot longer
than you think :)
