Update
Mood: ContentOkay so here's the update on getting my autobiography published...I did hear back from the publisher and they are interested in publishing my book!!! This is great news, however, when I received the contract from them it said they want me to give them $1200 just to publish my book. Supposedly it is to get the initial publishing started, and I will get it back once 2500 copies have been sold...Yes, I want to get my autobiography published, but I'm not that desperate. When it's ready, and I submit it to the right publisher, they will pay ME to publish my book knowing they will make money off of it. So, getting my autobiography published is on the back burner for now. My boyfriend helped me with some research and we found out there are some things I'm missing for submitting my entire manuscript anyway, so it might be some time before that happens. I feel like I'm finally almost finished with it though so that's a start, haha. Here's to a hopeful future in the career of my dreams :)

| I know I'm a bit slow on the following chapters, but I'm still thinking about you and getting them completed. Saw your on Writer's Cafe also. Will see you there too, but will probably post more here.

| Thank you so much my friend for your honest thoughts. I am glad that the message came across still the same and will see if I can improve the poem some more.

| I just read your post. But 1200$? That's a bit much! Sounds fishy!

| By all means finish it. Tie up all those loose ends and make it rife with inductive reasoning. You'd be surprised how many people decide to write a book and never finish the chore.
As for the proliferation of comments on my page they're a byproduct of nurturing friendships and consistently offering companionship to my people on this site. When I write something they come around to at least read or perhaps comment. So yeah, in your envy of this is a little bit weird, if you work on it it will come to you also. Bruce :-) |

| Your correct, by me that's a monumental accomplishment. I'm glad you feel you have succeeded in putting this trauma behind you. Although I have a great deal of sympathy for those who can't seem to forget such things I always pray that they might find in themselves the self assertive confidence to put it behind them. Good luck again!!

I like your writing too but I'm somewhat confused. Most people don't write their autobiographies until they have accomplished something somewhat monumental, thinking that people will want to know that they might accomplish something monumental themselves with the insights learned. Why an autobiography? Bruce |
