Need Support For a Book

So I'm really interested in starting a book. It will be an attempt to demonstrate how I began to be able to control my mind through my search for happiness/enlightenment through my failures in a book about longboarding and metaphorically talking about drugs through my high school and college stories. I believe through years of polishing that I can write this novel really well, I just don't know if I am going to back out like I normally would. Just lookin' for ideas to help me out and support and criticism if you want.
It's a just a scratch idea atm, I'm just working on it and defining it better right now.
EDIT: this was a keef-made-edible induced idea that I'm not pursuing lol

If you have great mind control, why would you be unable to finish your project?

Wait, is this a story about failure and disappointment - as in you never got good at longboarding, and enlightenment came through your realization that your dream to longboard was just a dream?
You're still going to have to practice writing, like every day, and hold your standards high to those of your great literary heroes to have a chance of finishing this book imho... Who knows how long that will take... So it's not going to be all that different than longboarding as far as I can tell.. You just really have to want it, practice every day, and make it happen.
Or maybe next you can make a movie about the book you never authored about the longboarding you never accomplished
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

If he never got good at longboarding he's got a lot of nerve coming here posting about it.

Honestly man.....Nobody is going to want to read that. I'm not trying to be an asshole, just trying to save you the trouble of writing a book that nobody will read.

Anyways, I feel like I should at least entertain the idea of describing an experience bombing a hill, so here you go if you want to read.
Constitution Way has always been the epitome of insanity. One lamp illuminates the gradual load-up for a corner that launches one into a sudden forest so covered that the light of a full moon dare not enter. But even the exposure of the occasional headlight or the reappearance of the moon is not enough to provide sanctuary. At peak velocity there is a three-way intersection impossible to circumnavigate when one can not slide... This is a problem for me. Nevertheless, my wheels begin to caress the tarmac. A brilliantly lit park divides the meadow of light from the trench of darkness. I can hear the road laugh as my wheels tickle it ever so slightly. The final lighthouse bids a somber farewell as my vessel violently fights friction and thrusts me into a malevolent darkness as unknown as the Pacific. The battle between my four shipmates and the ground makes me want to beg for parley to an unresponsive ocean of tar that holds a gun to my skull. Composure must be maintained, for if I fail to believe my mind and listen to my nerves my crew will fail me. The corner comes quick in the midst of adrenaline and I brace myself for the climax of battle. My vision is restored, only to expose three vessels with pairs of lights that emulate the moon and stare at me. Within this bittersweet luminescence I notice two more motorized ships in front. The whole intersection is occupied. Calculations engender sparks to flow throughout my brain until my mind pinpoints the most reasonable one. I command my crew from the left side of the road to the right. They do not have faith and threaten to cast me off my board. I approach the cars parallel to my direction and lean my weight left, I feel the rush of misplaced air from the first car, then the second, and I quickly abandon my board and lunge forward into the headlights that scream at me. I spend more time in the air than the ground trying to take advantage of my natural mechanics and finally regain balance. The scream transforms into a familiar voice wailing about how he shot the sheriff as the vessel passes by and the pressure of the dark gun is removed from my head. I fail to take immediate note of the shock of the eyes that behold me. I guess my brain made some new synapses.
