Time of my Life
(FEEDBACK NEEDED!!!) I want to write a book. My life has been filled with enough tragedies to be funny. Not for me, but for anyone who reads it. Physical, mental and emotional abuse as a child; rape; being diagnosed as bipolar. Who can pass up reading a story about me and a friend "accidentally" buying alcohol for minors on our 21st birthdays and then being so paranoid about it that we dropped the "product" in some bushes at a McDonald's for them to pick up, and then drove to a vacent lot only to switch out our license plate with a pocket knife because we were afraid of the cops? Or maybe the Halloween my friend and I dressed like hookers on a dare and actually got propositioned and then the cops tried to bust us because they thought we were pros? And you know two failed maraiges is pure gold for a book. I could write and entire one on my second divorce alone; postpartum psychosis, nuthouses, assault, custody battles, eviction.....I could go on and on, and that's exactly what I want to do. I want to write it all down. In a book. I am mostly reserved about the goings on of my life, the intimate details, but I want to learn how to be more open. It's hard to talk about, so maybe writing would be the best way to get it all out. The hard part would be editing it. There is so much I want to tell. I would appreciate some feedback on this one as I am seriously considering this book writing venture. Comments on whether you think this is a good or bad idea, or maybe if you have tried this kind of thing before and have some tips.

I think it's an awesome idea and even if it doesn't ever get published I think it would be an awesome way to get intouch with your feelings and lord knows I understand some of what you've been through and it's hard to open up to just anyone but I'm starting to come to terms with my issue's
