My idea for my first book I have had this idea for a while, but I was wondering if it seems like a good idea. I wanted to write a story told from the first person point of view of a recently discharged war veteran trying to start his new life by going college. The story would focus on him trying to adjust to life living among the student population and feeling very disconnected from them. PTSD will play a big part.

I am an Iraq war vet myself with three tours. Obviously my main character would be based partially on myself, but the book would be completely fictional. Does this sound like a good idea at all?
