My book is ready!

I must admit - it is an amazing feeling.... Lots of hard work went into this project. Now the harder work will begin with the marketing...

Dee maybe you can sell it online or make it as an ebook?

can't you find some sponsors? or a publishing house?

Publishing is very expensive and I will do self-publishing. I know it will be hard work.

The name of my book is 'Man, you pause'. I believed that I am facing menopause and did not understand really what was going on with my body and my emotions. To gain perspective, I started to write and soon discovered that to determine where I am going to, I had to go back and sort out a few things of the past. It was hard. It was sad and there were times that I just sat and cried. To continue my journey, I realized that a person had to 'pause' exhale, and carry on with life... eventually I had a book... hahaha!

Along with your book you seem to have changed your life too. A brilliant idea dee. Hope your book will find a place on every book shelf, globally. and if it is an e book I am sure every kindle will have it too! How is iwriter?

I must do it in an ebook and will see someone next week to assist me. I have registered on iWriter, and could not find anything suitable to write about. It seems as if there are very limited topics? I am so anxious to start!!

Hi jricky1. Thank you for the good wishes. Why do you say that it is not possible for you to write your own book? If you have a story to tell, why not just start writing? Do not focus now on obstacles and money and heaven knows what. Just start writing....

I'm working on sort of a western drama which is set in the northeastern United States. The late 1800s is the time period. I figure any place in the western hemisphere can be considered a western.

Oh - lovely. So you do have the story-line plotted down already?

Hi dlpierce. My book is my biography - what is your book about? Wow, yu must enjoy your writing!!I will see someone this week with regard to ebook & kindle... not sure how it all work, but I will have to get marketing going...

correction: celebrities

hahaha - I had a good laugh now. I am no celebrity! I wrote, because I wanted to encourage other people - (more women, I think) by my life-story thus far... Check out the website on my profile... Take Care Bye for now!

Come on Dominique25. You are creative. So, what is keeping you? You are not scared, are you? You do not have to rush finishing it... just start with one page...

Thank you my friend! It all started when I was feeling down and out and hopeless... Sitting down and looking at my life moved me to start writing!

Everything in the book is true... that is what made it so difficult for me. It's not fiction - its hard truths and there were times that I was not sure how to continue... After the last editing, I sat down - first with my husband, then first born, then second son, to ask them to read certain chapters....I sat with them so that they could ask me questions. I wanted them to understand everything before I would give it to the world to read... In allowing them to read those chapters, and providing them with answers, or explanations, my family grew closer and our bond is better than ever.

Hi MaylaJay. You say you never got a book finished... do you mean that you have started but should just continue? If you are not busy yet - please let me ask you to take up your pen and continue writing. There is no way you can just leave it half way, ok.

Thank you Janurmas. It was not an easy journey and i am glad that I now have come to the point of no return! I will concentrate on marketing my book and make sure enough people read my story and be encouraged. Take care.

It was quite a journey! After each chapter I have added some pointers on how I overcame. I am sure that the readers will be able to relate to many of my experiences. I trust that those personal experiences will encourage the reader never to give up on life and to pursue.
