Have you ever written a book about your life?
« on: February 07, 2014, 08:26:10 am »
I have but it has never been published because I don't want it read until I have passed. It contains many facts about my life that I would not like to discuss with anyone. It starts when I was a teenager and talks about my communications and experiences with the opposite sex. It also talks about hard times and good times that may help people in the same position. I also finished it with how I live today and how my present events of life have given me much happiness. I titled it "Always taking the Wrong Turn" so if you see it on the stands you will know that I have past on.


I will tell you my book has things in it that will scare some people.  I have had a really bad past but I have a really good present and that is what I look at today

I have not, but my husband writes about his life and the ups and down of his life, our family lifes and children being born and deaths and just about everything about this life.

No. Pretty sure my simple life is not book worthy.

If i ever wrote a book about my life it would be a best cellar <seller>.

In other words it would be best if it remained in the cellar!

I haven't written a book specifically about my life but I have self published 4 books that are based on my experiences.

I have written a self book about myself and it is on my flash drive.  Nobody knows what I have experienced, and I am not the same person as I was back then.  People like to speculate as if they were there, but nobody knows for sure what I have gone through in my early years.  My book is called "A Letter to My Younger Self" and will no doubt be read by my daughter when I pass on.  It is not necessary to tell your family things they don't need to know, but I envisioned my life, whether younger or older, to be better than it was back then. ??? ??? ??? :bad: :thumbsup: :star: :clover: :rainbow:

Yes, on Barnes and Noble, Amazon Kindle, Lulu, Kobo, and a couple other places like eBay (which is ironically where they sell the most) and Craigslist.

I haven't written a book specifically about my life but I have self published 4 books that are based on my experiences.


Do you self publish them as ebooks?

If I were to write a book about my life, I would never publish it for the public (because first of all, my life is BORING, who would want to read it?). It would be more of a family history book and not just about me but all members in my family.
