This is ny first time telling complete strangers my story. I'm doing this because I want to write a book and domt know where to begin. So here I go. I was molested and raped by my girl cousin and older brother when I was younger. I told my family and they didn't believe me. I tried to get help when I was in his but my grandma told me that I didn't need a therapist because our family's dirty laundry didn't need to be put out there nor did she think I was " crazy". So I couldn't go. Years later I was kicked out of college for an episode I had that caused trouble in the school whilst seeing a psychologist. That didn't help. I was kicked out. I also never had a mom. She left me with my dad when I was 2. With my older brother and younger brother. Earlier this year I found out that my " dad" wasn't even my dad or my younger brothers. ( my older brother belonged to another man which my dad already knew) I want to write a book about the years of abuse that I dealt with from my dad ( drug, alcohol, physical) my sexual and physical abuse I experienced with my older brother and cousin, I also want to talk about not having a mom and being raised by strangers. My dad still doesn't know about me not being his. Idk what to do about that but I'll hopefully have enough bravery to put that in my book. I'm just scared it might hurt him because he already drinks heavily. I'm exhausted about thinking of other people's feeling . I'm tired of putting others before myself. I'm in my early thirties and have been dealing with the feelings by myself for so long. Psychologist don't help. So I figure telling my story ro help others will. What should I do. Especially with telling my dad that I'm not his

I'm starting to wonder if my friend's dead or just ghosting me. We normally have contact with each other by now. If not the same address I'm sure my card would'...
Begin your book with your earliest memory and go from there. Write a synopsis first which is the basis of the story. When I wrote a book I rewrote it from start to finish three times but you can rewrite it as many times as you like until you are satisfied with it. The chapters do not have to be the same length as most people think. If you have read books that helps because you get the idea from them when to start and finish chapters. Don't start with the weather and beware of plaigerism and copy right. There should be a start a middle and an end and not a long ongoing monologue. Don't repeat the same adjective in the one sentence.
Your post is mixed where the events don't flow. Write it again for yourself so that the events flow along in the right order and there aren't gaps of years between them where nothing happened.
Write for the reader and keep it interesting. Good luck and merry Christmas.
ReplyHello. I'm not sure how to write for the reader. I also wrote this post as a vent because I didn't know where else to go. These events happened in my real life. It's hard to put them in order when I've been many bad things you know?
ReplyIts your book. Write it how you want it to be.
