I hope you do publish, and I would like to read it.

Re: I've Started Writing
Count me in for a copy! Write from your heart and write in love and it will be fine! You will become the voice of many, me thinks! Blessings! I wish you lived in my area. I would sure like to sit and talk with you, and by no means do I want to do that to put you down.

Yes.
I sure do appreciate all the positive responses! As I was writing, I was getting a little discouraged so I decided to start this thread which has proven worthwhile!

Thank you! I got a book about how to publish on amazon and they charge $9.99 per book and they keep like $7.00 of it. Sickening! However, they probably reach a wider audience. I am really tossing around what to do about that part. I just don't know yet. If anyone has any pro/con experiences with publishers I would love to hear them.

I don't know if that is bad or not. I would rather do that than pay 3.50 each and have to buy 500 upfront.

Finished the first draft today! 
It will take me a few months to round it out like I want and make it as readable as I would like.
I will likely end up buying some sort of insurance for myself, so not sure how much that might cost. And I will need to talk to a lawyer and make sure I'm doing this right using a pen name and all that. So, I've got to be able to pay for that with the book. That's the part I hate and will drag my feet on. I love to write but talking to a lawyer, yuck. I might go to my grave with the book unpublished over that! LOL! Seriously, though, I will have to really push myself about that part. Anybody know anything about that stuff?

Re: I've Started Writing
I just wanted to let everyone know....because there was a lot of interest, that I did finish my book last summer (except for a final edit). A lot of family and some friends read the book and I had a lot of positive experiences as a result. However, I just can't seem to bring myself to publish it. I don't know if that will change in time or not. I kept thinking I would eventually just publish it and then let everyone here know. But I am emotionally spinning my wheels.
It has been wonderful to get it all out on paper in chronological order. That has been healing. Maybe that is all I needed to do.
Anyway, I am sorry for the disappointment for those of you who were really looking forward to it. I would have to feel a peace about publishing it and I just don't right now. I think I may begin to talk about things a bit more openly than before though....it has been a life-changing thing for me.....writing this book. Thanks for listening and the encouragement you all gave me to write.
So, sorry, but I know you wouldn't want me to publish it if I didn't feel good about it....even if you are dying to read it.
