Your book shouldn't really be about the market or making money, although the setting is the market and it would help to have some money making day trader tips included that you've acquired through experience.

Your story should be along the lines of your unique view of the stock market mania. Think of it like a book about travelling up the Amazon. Your book should attempt to allow the reader, through you, to experience some of the stuff you've experience that they can't.

I don't think you should try to write the book linearly, although the time dimension is the most likely dimension to tell your set of tales. I think you should first write each episode separately until you have a collection of them like 20 or 30. Make an attempt to organize them several ways -- chronologically, themes, and so on. I see the book having 3 to 4 major sections (based on the chronology of unfolding of the bubble and its aftermath), and within each section of time, theme based chapters.

That's when you bring in a pro -- an editor, to look over the material and help you turn it into a book.

I think the first section, which is basically you story of how you got started in this and the birth of the online "individual investor soon-to-become a stock of the day day-trader" trading community would take 20 - 30 pages to introduce to the reader.

Just my thoughts.
Chris
