Depends on how much you fucked up, cause IMO bios on successful, content people suck. :rolleyes:
Unless it's verrry funny.

Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand all wrote theirs in their early-mid twenties.

i was just about to say. its fuckin' ridiculous.

Those football ones are out of control. Glad to see however that despite the range of super-stars releasing these vapid self-publicity tomes that the best selling one of the lot was former Man City legend Shaun Goater. Go on the goat, shove it up your hole, Cashley.

In football though, 30 is like your twilight years. A lot of players just drop off the radar and wouldn't have anything good to say. It's not often there's someone like Georgie Best who lives a movie plot life.

I wrote part 1 of mine when I was 33.3333

It's a good read. A little thick though. I couldn't find any parts I could part with. I liked it all.

So it goes.

don't you usually write it once the peak of your life has just passed?

i mean, if your fame is already been passed over for 20 years, then you shouldn't even bother writing one by then. at that point, you wait till you die and have someone else write it for you as the legend

I was thinking of the biography writing the other night and how hard it would be to remember everything,but then if it was everything then it would be thousands of pages.

then I think of what if I had started a diary years ago but I forgot so yeah

I was in a gallery some time ago where this couple displayed their uninspired artwork. They were both 24 yrs old and I read their bio summary, one A4 page each. Both talked about having a life changing experience which would change their "art" and the way they looked at art and I was like "Fucking kids these days".
