So There's This Book ...

I am reading yet another self-help book which title will go unmentioned. It is really good so far being encouraging at all the right points and no nonsense at other points. This leads me to think of what the world would do with a book that doesn't tell them to loose weight or think positively. Instead it would hold a tale of shortcomings and mishaps that could teach the reader not to befall the same situations. In case you did not guess by now, I am writing such a book.



There has got to be a group of people out there that know what they want but not sure how to get there. They don't want to make the same mistakes their family or friends have made but what were those mistakes, exactly? I have no personal claim to fame nor do I plan on faking one for my readers. I just want to share the decisions I have made up to this point in my life that I think could help some people navigate their own paths.



There has been love and loss in my life which is enough to make a good novel. I don't want to hide my experiences behind fake names or places to save face or provide some kind of false privacy. I will tell it just as it occurred with a few edits to take out the boring years or sections full of such grief that any account of it would just be plain murderous. Lucky for me I have kept a journal most of my life so I will be transposing much of the information from there to the manuscript. Wish me luck, diligence and a dose of creativity. I'll be needing all of that and more.
