Publishing ambitions

As the title may suggest, I have decided to unleash my creative appetite in the form of publishing a book: the initial idea was to collect a fair few descriptive and argumentative pieces to form something which would be both easy and interesting to read. I have already asked my English tutor for approval, and began to work on gathering the required writing.

I decided to include descriptive essays because these are by far my favourite type of writing for not only do I enjoy composing them, but I also tend to be rather good at producing very vivid and inspiring descriptions which don't only convey the mood and atmosphere of a given place, but also indulge the reader in a more deeper sense, making them ponder upon the words written on the pages. Seeing that I have been writing in this style for quite some years now, I figured that it would be a good idea to include older writing as well as what I will be writing throughout the course of the following two years; for this reason, the part of my collection designated for descriptive writing will be split into two. However, I also chose not to just write random descriptions of what may come to mind, but rather create different clusters of pieces which would pertain to a similar subject: for example, I chose to write a few pieces which would fall under a category that I named 'The Colour Collection'; consequently, those descriptions would relate to certain colours, and to make it slightly more stirring, I will only write about colours not present within the rainbow, but those that are more rare, to an extent. In order to make my potential readers feel eager to read onwards, I shall differentiate these descriptive groups greatly to cover a wide range of aspects which will be both ordinary and uncommon.

The second half of my publication will be based upon relatively short argumentative essays which will comment on specific quotes that I will pick out; this may seem like a strange type of writing to include in a book, although I can explain my choice by saying that I am able to create very reliable arguments to contribute to virtually any kind of debate, provided I have the needed information. With these quotes, I will aim to reveal the way in which I think about certain issues and topics, which will hopefully be absorbing for the reader to discover as they can then relate their own interpretations to mine. Once again I will be splitting this section into two so that the evolution of my opinions and views may be tracked and I will aim to severalise the discussions which will be included to make it more fetching to read.

In terms of a title for the book, I am currently unsure of what exactly it will be, albeit it will certainly carry the meaning of either revealing or understanding one's mind; I was thinking along the lines of either 'Mind Maps' or 'Discerning a Mind', for I want this book to give my readers an insight into who I am, as that would enable them to feel more familiar with the author which would make their reading experience more entertaining as it would appear to be like a conversation with me, yet through written words.
