+ Thumb-Typed Book
Yume-Hotaru's wrote his first novel and it was a best-seller in Japanese bookstores. And-and get this, he wrote it entirely with his thumbs. He started it in 2007 and wrote in on the bus or before going to bed or between classes. During these times, he would type he would continue his story by typing the sentences on his phones tiny keyboard. From a digital book, it got published into a paper book. Yume Hotaru's book called "First Experience" was a top-title in one of Tokyo's biggest bookstores.
Sounds like a dream come true. I've always wanted to write a book, but I'm just not sure what to write about. If I created a book from my cellphone, i would get tired. But at least my thumbs would get excercise! *thumbs up
