Me Myself and I is an autobiograpy of my life, dealing with child sexual abuse, therapy, the foster care system.. basically everything Ive going thorugh to the present.
La La Land Express is a book of peoms chronoligically from 1983 to the present. the main theme running through the whole book is my therapy journey from deciding to enter therapy in 1983 to the present. Some of the topics covered therapy/support groups Ive been in, hospitalizations, my therapy programs over the years. being diagnosed MPD (now called DID), the process from diagnosis to the integration process and some of my integrated memories. there are some peoms wrote while in memory states also and some life experiences like losing my biological father to cancer, being diagnosed with cancer myself, my son in foster care, finding a teacher after 25 years, and so on.
They are completely wrote and have been submitted to the library of congress for copywriting. Now I am working on the book proposals. Book proposals not the actual manuscripts are the reports that are submitted to publishers asking that they consider your book for publishing. the book proposal has things like table of contents, a summary of the book, how much you want it to sell for, what market you think it will sell good on, what you are going to do to help promote the book once it is published and so on. Once they are published the hard part is going to be promoting. I do not drive and I am writing under a name not my actual name due to safety reasons. I really don't want to have to deal with the death threats and so on that I had to when I went public against my main abuser before. Though he is dead there are others just waiting in line. Theres a foot long word for writing anon. but I cant spell it - basically means pen name. So Im kind of stumped on how to promote the books for sale. Then of course I have no money for agents and so forths so I am the one that has to research contracts and so on...Life as an author...aint it grand
