I'm contemplating writing a book. I was in the book printing industry for half of my life, and I worked with a lot of self published authors. They always said everyone has a book in them, and I thought...uh not me.
I love to write, but didn't feel confident enough in my writing to actually pursue writing a book.
Heck, I'm still not sure I can do this, but I'm going to try. What's the worst that will happen, I will do it and it will suck. Ha! That happens to me all the time...not a big deal anymore. What happens if it is amazing though? What if I can actually pull this shit off? I don't expect to be a millionaire from it, hell I don't expect to live off of it... but to accomplish writing a book...would be HUGE to me.
So What should I write about? Hmmm... well my favorite books are self-help books. I am secretly obsessed with them. I just love seeing other peoples takes on life and how to improve it.
So, I 'm thinking a self-help relationship book. Ok, if you know me and you are reading this...Stop laughing.
Yes, I realize I have yet to have a successful relationship in my life, but maybe that is just what people need to see.
Maybe, I can show all the wrong ways I've done things so that people learn what not to do.
Of course I will add some humor to it...actually I think I will probably make the whole thing humorous.
I mean, it's much easier to learn when you are having fun doing it right?
Now I have to start doing the research. Once I figure out how to write it, publishing it is a cake walk for me. I know the in's and out's of the printing industry, and I've made enough contacts through my work that I should be able to figure out how to get it moving along. I know that you have to hustle hard to get your book out there. I have seen it first hand.
keep your fingers crossed for me...I'm going to need it.
Much love,
Dana
