Our Own Book Making! @calmmoon2104 and @enthusiasticHouse3272 📖🖋✨️🪄
Hii Hana!
I made this post to continue to talka dn make our book in this community, so welcome to my company again hehe (though we will soon be meeting on the adult side of 7cups ✨️)
So here are the basic questions :
What is the main theme of the book?
What are the genres going to be?
What should the title be?
From where should we start?
I know we already talked a bit but it was really vague, so lets start our discussion fresh now! 💙
Looking forwad to hearing back from you friend!

historical fiction.?👀
idk..! what do u like😗
Anyways.. since u are in the middle of exams.. no pressure, no hurry
u can take ur time and decide, and whatever it is, im there😉
@enthusiasticHouse3272
I was really busy this past week and only got some free time now but I am still not too free because of exams continuing woth some days gap now thank you for understanding 💙
Lets make it like history plus mythology, how does that sound?
And I have this idea, kinda unique, tell me what do you think about this :
We first give an introduction (like typical books have), a preface, then the content should be like a conversation between two people, you know, like people having deep and interesting discussions and debates on philosophical topics? Like that.
For example :
Person A : What is your opinion about "meaning of life"?
Person B : What is even "meaning" in "meaning of life" ? What do I and you understand about the word, or the concept of meaning?
Person A : So what you are saying is, theres no meaning in life?
Person B : No, what I am saying doesn't mean that there's no meaning in life, what I truly mean is what does "meaning" mean in a life? What should the meaning in life be like?
Person A : Can be anything, meaning can mean our passions, ambitions, goals and even morals or beliefs.
Person B : Whats the inner lying cause of it all? What do you mean by "meaning"? Is there ever a life, that's devoid of all of this, even if someone doesn't have passions, ambitions or any goals seeming visible to them at a particular moment of their life, does that mean that they lack all the meaning in their life?
Person A : What do you mean by that?
Person B : A person can still have their beliefs and morals with them even if they dont know the things you said. Still, they say they dont know the meaning of life for them, that they dont know what to even be alive and live for. What is the meaning that are trying really hard to give form to, if they yet dont even know what it is that makes them human?
Person A : Then does being human and having morals and by just by existing and going through life in itself have all the meaning of life in itself altogether?
Person B : Existence is not equal to truth, it's being conscious and aware that one creates meaning and makes life "meaningful" by defining the the actual true meaning of life to themselves, they can make their life worth living.
Person A : Therefore?
Person B : Life doesn't have any meaning, but living a life means something akin to being one with all that surrounds you, i.e. universe. The "universe" is the most meaningful, only if you know it well, not only the galaxy.
Person A : Does meaning mean the universe?
Person B : Thats something I am also not sure about right now, so thats a story for another time.
Like that, we can end a chapter like this ending here or just continue it in another chapter from a different sub topic in the same main topic.
Sorry if the whole "philosophical" conversation example was weird, couldn't think of anything more easy or intelligible in order to explain what I really wanted to say.
We can draft the book here or in Google docs whatever suits you lol also ask me anything you want to about the post because I know I wrote things complicated kinda.
The main thing is : I want our book to be a conversation between us on the topic that we choose and the topic can also change for a change of pace, like in the group chats in 7cups.
Its OUR own book that we will be making so lets make it fun and our way ✨️
Tell me what do you think Hana 🌸
@calmmoon2104
I actually really like this idea. With both of us having to keep up with studies, the conversation format feels very chill and flexible, and I like that the topic doesn’t have to stay rigid- it makes it feel more real, like how people actually talk and think.
I’m fine with writing either here or on Google Docs, whatever’s easier for you. And no worries, it didn’t feel too complicated- I get what you’re going for now :)
Since we both like history and mythology, maybe we can let the conversations flow around myths, historical moments, or symbols and then question them instead of just explaining them.
How about we have the two speakers come from different cultural or historical backgrounds? Like one more rooted in Indian mythology and the other in Sri Lankan mythology, so their perspectives naturally contrast and complement each other.
And yes, it’s our book, so I’m excited to make it our way ✨
