"In between intense writing sessions for her next studio album, expected in 2007, Alanis Morissette will spend this year working on a memoir. &amp;quot;It will be all the wisdom I&amp;apos;ve accrued in the thirty-one years of my life,&amp;quot; the singer-songwriter says with a laugh. &amp;quot;A lot about relationships, fame, travel, body-image issues, spirit &amp;#x2014; with a lot of self-deprecating humor peppered throughout, &amp;apos;cause I just can&amp;apos;t help it.&amp;quot;\nMorissette has wanted to pen a book for some time now, and she finally decided to toss her reservations out the window. &amp;quot;I was getting a little too precious about book-writing, putting this unrealistic expectation on myself that I had to somehow not only encapsulate my past, but the next forty years of my life as well,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s just ridiculous &amp;#x2014; I&amp;apos;d end up writing it when I&amp;apos;m ninety-five.&amp;quot;\nAs for her more familiar task of songwriting, she&amp;apos;s well on her way to crafting a follow-up to 2004&amp;apos;s\nSo Called Chaos. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m teeming with ideas right now because I haven&amp;apos;t written a record in three years,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I have more than enough thoughts to congeal together.&amp;quot;\nFor the album, she is enlisting a few collaborators, among them Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Eminem), with whom she teamed for &amp;quot;Wunderkind,&amp;quot; her Golden Globe-nominated song from the film\nThe Chronicles of Narnia.\nMorissette found out about the\nnomination from her fiance, actor Ryan Reynolds, after her phone lit up. &amp;quot;The fact that it had been ringing off the hook was terrifying to me,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;My immediate reaction was, &amp;apos;Oh God, something&amp;apos;s wrong!&amp;apos; &amp;quot;\nShe will indeed be in the house at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night. &amp;quot;I look forward to getting all cleaned up,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;The entertainment industry is\nfilled with really wild, creative, expressive people, so I&amp;apos;ll be on all\nnight.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
