Thank you for your comments. And I’m sorry we share some of the same experiences. I recently wrote about my life and the life of my sister which was cut short from domestic violence. Writing that book took a lot out of me and I guess I was surprised since I have shared her story for years. I guess sharing mine as well was what did it, or the combination of the two. Still trying to get my footing.
The more I think about it the more it sounds like I really do write for me. The me I used to be. So my audience reflects the struggling me I once was. Okay still am sometimes.
Why am I taking this course. Well, any of those reasons listed would work. While I am self-published with two books, it would still be great if I could be traditionally published, but if not, that’s okay. Either way I need to build my platform. Because I’ve had many experiences in life I seem to have more than one area I can go in. And that isn’t helpful at times.
I have to write. And I’ve seen writers I know take this course and become better writers. That’s why I knew it would be good for me.
This one was a story. And yet, because of the losses in my life I can convey these as if they were my experiences. Thanks for reading and for your thoughtful comments.
