My dream of writing a book has become a reality at the age of 64

[Ladybj]

As the wise saying goes, it's never too late to fulfill your lifelong dream. I have thought about writing a book for several years; now it's a reality. I have a ways to go before it is ready for publishing, but I completed the manuscript, and now the fun has begun.

I have decided to self-publish. I researched self-publishing companies but did not find a good fit for me. Therefore, I am taking a leap of faith in doing it all myself, from finding a copy editor, book designer, etc.. to marketing on Amazon and other platforms.

It's been a while since I've been on SF. I thought I would catch up with you guys and share my exciting news. I hope you all are doing well.

Yes, do it! Your book might be much better than the trash of books of actors, politicians and all the other kind of the so-called celebrities who bother us with their nonsense.

What genre is it? And is it fiction or non-fiction?

Thank you, George. I think it will be. It's regarding self-awareness, being self-aware of the noise and nonsense.

That answered my question.

Self-awareness. Non-fiction

 

[Murrmurr]

Self-awareness. Non-fiction

That type of book usually does pretty well. Good luck!

Thank you. My format is very different. It's question-based and reflects on self-awareness and self-development. I also cover a little of how I faced and healed from past trauma. Yes, I can see it on the NYT bestseller list.

Good for you, Ladybj for following through on a dream.

Thank you, Jules. Before writing this book, I had to do a lot of healing and soul-searching, which has motivated me to continue to move forward.

Congratulations. From what little I know about writing and publishing; I've heard it's a lot of hard work and dedication.

Thank you! It is a lot of dedication and hard work. This is why it was important to me to stay focused on why I decided to write this book. At times, I felt overwhelmed.
