I am looking forward to being apart of this live webinar session. I am writing my first book and I am about halfway done.
I've been at the almost completed my manuscript to many times, i as well writing my first book, Very happy to hear of your progress Monica.
I call that editing. I have just been through that, and feel that I am at the last editing to see that it all flows correctly with no punctuation or other errors. Editing takes so long with all the re-reading over a long period of time. I didn't have that much time to devote to my book so did it part-time and mainly on the weekends.
In fact, I want to advocate NOW but I have no idea where to start especially when I want to write a very intense, and most of all a go-to novel for addicts and recovering addicts to use as there "go-to read". I want to give all my time to the writing! Advocacy is so important in addiction though and I know it would benefit me in my overall writing and professional career and even personally in the long run. I have a passion and it literally is what I eat, sleep, and breath other than my going on 3-year old little (saving grace) girl. I don't doubt my ability, just a bit confused I guess.
I agree 100%, however, I haven't ever come really close to the end of a finished manuscript. my book is confusing because its a nonfiction self-help tell-all (as I am a recovering heroin/ (everything addict) myself and had a long journey through both addiction and recovery.) i want my writing career to soar in order to allow others just like myself to know they are not alone and together recovery is not only possible but its exciting! I am taking a bit more of my time and working on the platform as far as creating a website and working on a twitter or facebook page so I really hope to get some knowledge by attending this webinar. Just joined the book in a year program the ALC offers so the pressure is on... And I'm loving the learning experience through my journey to becoming an advocate for addiction and most importantly the voice and face of what recovery can do for anyone who wants it reads my book.and takes what they need from it in order to change their lives. Thank you for taking the time to connect with me. Best of luck what are you writing.
