This is a possible book cover design for a book we're writing. It is called Revolving Doors ( not Materials for design, thats just a template). As the name of the book suggests, the book is mainly about real Burmese refugees in Malaysia experiencing the arrest-detention-deportation process. The book documents the suffering and pain refugees in Malaysia go through because Malaysians have denied them their basic human rights, some knowingly, some unknowingly.
This will be the first time i'm having a hand in writing a book. Not just any book, but a book that will hopefully create more awareness among Malaysians. I always thought writing a book is like blogging. Inspiration comes along and you just sit down and type away. Oh boy i was more than wrong.
Blogging is truly expressing what you feel, whenever you like it, in any format ( or not ) you'd like to write it in. Wherelse when you are attempting to Write a book, there's so many angles, do's and don'ts, contraints that you have to think about before stringing your ideas into passages.
I think i'd stick to blogging. There's too many issues on how to be politically correct since it is not fiction. While there will be a substantial part of the book which i contributed to, i hope that it will make at least half the impact i'd like it to make.
Somehow, i can't help feeling a little proud of myself... *grin*
