I'm writing a autobiography

Withe all the interest around heroine addiction in the media I have personally known 2 people who have gotten published. I feel I can bring something different to the genre as I'm not in AA and I'm fairly pessimistic where most junky memoirs at least have a happy ending I don't get the feeling my story will. It's also going to center on male sexual abuse which is still a pretty taboo topic.

I've been saying I'm going to for years but I think I finally have the right mindset and motivation.

 

That's a great idea. A lot of excellent books are autobiographical. I agree your perspective is unique, and you could add something interesting. The genre is flooded with the boring storyline of junkie becomes homeless, hits rock bottom, quits, discovers himself, writes a book..

I'm writing too, but I decided on sci/fantasy to write about my own experiences in allegory. I go to writers workshops, make friends with published authors, and read all the time. good luck.

 

Thank you for having the courage to begin the journey. More people need to hear our stories first hand - yours is an important one.

 

I'd buy it! (and help you market it )
