Mine would be called, "The Mountains and Valleys".

I would never write a book about my life, it's bad enough in school (taking social work) i have to write damn near constantly about my childhood.

i don't have big enough ego to write about my life... i didn't do much yet... so why would it matter?

I could write a book about people I met on and off the road. It would be an absurd drama. Yes, I would be present in there somehow...

not sure about the name.

What should have been and never was, what was and should never have been.

I was born to be better than i am, i had higher expectations of myself, but somewhere over the last few years, i took a wrong turning, and now i'm never going to be the person that i was expecting to be and was capable of being.

Rollercoaster

That would be my title. I've had some great highs and some pretty deep lows in life. Having Bipolar disorder, this is what I feel -- like I am on a rollercoaster.

I've got no idea. My experience is that you write the book, and the title presents itself. But nobody would be interested in my life.

Mine would be called "The Art of Becoming a Phoenix". I'm slowly discovering that if I ever want to be successful with this disease, I'm going to have to be like a phoenix, to die a thousand deaths and yet remain immortal. When I slip into a depression, and afterwards am convinced that I'm worthless and talentless, I must find a way to rise up from the ashes and also find the courage to fly once again.

On that note, Widgets it is never too late to become the person you thought you would be. You can always go back to school, make new friends,change your habits, etc. until your outside self matches your inside self. (This is another thing I am slowly learning). Just because you are not there yet doesn't mean that you will never arrive. And there is nothing wrong with being late because you took the more scenic road. Experience of all kinds is valuable.

My year: a travelogue

It would be based on my journal and notes that I took the first year after I was diagnosed. I am sure the journal entries will spark some memories that I can include. The rest of my life is pretty boring.

However, I am working on a piece of fiction right now that is based on me and my life. If I can turn it into a book, I will probably steal the travelogue part for the title.

My first book I didn't write was called "Escape from bipolar madness: one woman's journey to hell and back again."

I think the next one will be something simple like "My autobiography" LOL
