Better still, my life has been such a weird one up to now - I've owned a Porche and have had stacks of money but I've also been down and out and lived insane stuff like Bukowski would have been proud of - that a few friends have said I should write a book about it. Perhaps I will, thanks to this article. Or maybe start a blog on it. Hmmm, decisions decisions.... <br /><br />Oh, and what the hell are "Black Austrolorp Chickens"? The mind boggles.

You don't need to overlook the sad things that happen. They make the story all the more enjoyable. What about Lassie, of Black Beauty? How would they be without the sorrow? Please, share everything you've experienced. If it makes you cry while writing, all the more realistic. We all enjoy a good cry. They, you can finish by saying how you recovered, became stronger and triumphed by winning a prize.Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-2348264818271352852013-04-24T07:16:25.107-04:002013-04-24T07:16:25.107-04:00I'm with Rachel,

Write the book that is within you--there will undoubtedly be funny bits, but if you can write about the hard parts in your voice with no self pity, I just know it will be an excellent read! I LIKE your voice, and everybody knows that life is a mix of funny, sad, and downright discouraging. It sounds like a great book, leaky roof and all. Do it! (Oh, and to answer your question, I started a childhood memoir during NaNoWriMo a year ago and ended up with a 100,000+ very-rough draft and I've done nothing with it since. Perhaps after UBC is over . . .

Yes, I've written one, and I'm looking for an agent.

Who knows, perhaps a family member will come along one day after I am gone and write my memoirs. With the feedback I have had on events on my life, it may be worth writing.<br /><br />Rachel recently wrote <a href="http://workfromyourhome101.com/the-rippln-buzz/" rel="nofollow">The Rippln Buzz</a>Rachel Lavernhttp://workfromyourhome101.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-62067766540966949082013-04-23T19:14:12.891-04:002013-04-23T19:14:12.891-04:00What a clever and entertaining post.
