It’s a phenomenal achievement to write a book. Whether it’s a collection of poetry or short stories, a novel, or a work of non-fiction, it takes a lot. And, even though more and more books are being published each year, if you’ve completed this monumental task you are still in the minority. Ask around and see if anyone else you know has written a book. Unless you’re living in a writer’s commune (and if you are please forward me the contact info), then you’re pretty special. If you haven’t reached the point where you’ve completed your project yet still want to have your words read and see them on the page there are options available to you. I’ve put together a short list of opportunities for new writers that will help you experience a little bit of that elation. And, hopefully this will help encourage you to reach that next level. I wish I’d had this list of resources when I still had that dream and struggled to find the discipline. The ultimate accomplishment is of course writing and creating and producing and finishing. To finish any creative project is an incredibly exhilarating experience and I hope you get there. Before you find your way there here are some suggestions:

Mother Knows Best

You know how you trauma-dump on your friends and they say, "Omg, that's insane, you should write a book about it!" Well, more people have made that remark to my mother as she exaggerates all her stories, so I took the liberty of taking that advice for myself. I am a writer, after all, and I tend to write out my feelings and trauma to work through it on my own, just to delete it later. But why not make some of those memories that haunt me so much into story form? It's definitely more entertaining. So, you'll find my entire life story, or at least what I remember, here in this book on Wattpad. Each chapter is a real event that occurred in my life, mostly involving my emotionally abusive mother, nearly absent and aggressive father, my runaway older sister, and even a little boy we fostered for a moment. If you're interested or possibly are going through something similar, please read and know that there is hope. I made it out and I am on my healing journey, it is possible.
