I've done my research, I'm having difficulty choosing what cryptid to do first. Read the post before you reply.

Flatwoods Monster, now fuck off

Lake Worth Monster. Or thunderbirds. Thunderbirds are the most plausible of any cryptids.

He did read it.
Now explain your lack of decision making skills.

What you meant to say is...
>I like the idea of writing a book but I can't decide how to begin it and I'll give up after a few pages because I'm indecisive and an unreliable kind of person.

Start with the smokey god.

Alright, here is some free advice because i'm bored and day-drinking:

Determine your audience first.
Are you self publishing? If so, maybe stick to cryptids that are supposed to be in your geographical area. Locals and tourists alike will be attracted to your book, and you can get it into local stores.

Have a great hook.
Don't just make it list of cryptids and a chapter explaining each. Maybe choose 5 and explain to us why they are "actually all the same monster" or "proof that bigfoot is actually a skinwalker" blah blah blah. It's a bit cheap, but these are the times we live in.

Approach the content as a skeptic.
If you write it as a lunatic tin-foil, nobody will care. If you write it as am open-mined skeptic, it will attract far more readers.

There you go, friend. Take my advice or leave it, it's all good.

Dolphins. I've always been fascinated by the idea of them.

Do the Popelick monster.
