Yeah, short films are better. I've seen short films without words that lasted 3 mins be more powerful than a book that lasted 100+ pages

And 15? Wtf? Don't look at porn, you're too young! Lmao, by US standards...

u know i had the same idea one day. i believe you can right a book but make it realistic and base it upon ur experiences as a European b-girl

Lol though I’m just a 15yo chick, I think you’d be rather surprised if you had any idea how much shit I know. It’s just a number.

Thanks dude. The book is gonna be Norwegian though lol. Since it’s my first language it’d turn out way better than if I failed the whole thing in English nawwmean.

Experience can also be defined as a form of knowledge. Yehhh so you just wait for my book to be finished. Meanwhile you could study Norwegian or something. It'd help ya out a lot.

Each persons start is different....some people wanted to do a windmill, others thought it would get them girls, ect.... you have to find a reason for your persons start.

but we all been at that stage where we sucked (and some of us still do suck) so..........idk that might be a start.

Then there is always your first battle in a cypher when you get called out then smoked....that will motivate you to practice hard and you learn to come to accept things like when you loose...not a judge doing it for you. then you keep on improving and improving until then you go to your next jam then you do pretty good in the competition, but your hopping to face that guy in the cypher again, but he dosen't show, but you still go battle people anyways realizing that this is a learning experience ..... ( my story lol )

Then there is the big jam like Freestyle Session 10 that you go to with alot of the big names in bboying, popping, locking, ect. there.... where you truly will be able to make your mark, but sadly the nerves take over and you suck.... ( again me lol )

so then you start to attend just 1 vs 1 comps to get your name out there and hopefully a legit crew from the area will pick you up, or you just start one of your own from scratch... ( made this up out of the blue )

idk..... were all different lol.

btw im tired so alot of this may not make any sense. I'll edit it when i get some sleep.

QFT! Same concept for when you start, you gotta have a reason to make a documentary. Wether that is to fill up spare time or wether you actually want to send a message to the world about it!

LOL me and stone are the same age....never noticed and there are a lot of different ways this story can be approached, like for me, my first battle was 4 years into practicing and I won, and was scouted by my past crew, others go to jams and competitions pretty early and get smoked cuz they aren't totally ready...depends on what you decide as your angle, but hey, go for it...but honestly don't reference porn too much...

A lot of bboys and bgirls out there, including myself, have had their dreams about becoming a professional crushed due to family problems, school or due to the most common reason; not having a bboy community around. I want to point these things out in the book and write a story which we can all relate to. So yehhhh, wacha think? Got any tips for me? And yeh, I dont have any experience in writing a book.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA...and u should stick with it u can make a really good 1
i did read sum books about hiphop wich includes bboying like...
-------
Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop by Jeff Chang

That's the joint: the Hip Hop Studies Reader edited by Murray Forman and Mark Anthony Neal

We B* Girlz by Nike Kramer, Martha Cooper, and Rokafella
