I'm writing my life story. "Oh Wow!", you're going to say, "Everyone will be so anxious to read the autobiography of Lorena Bowser!" And I ask: "Does one have to be famous to be read?" I often wonder how it is that a famous actor, actress or sportsperson can suddenly take up watercolor painting or write about their climb to fame and "everyone"
IS anxious to buy the book or go to their exhibit. Hey! They don't even have to be good. Fame makes everything "right". What is the difference between fame and obscurity? Nothing! We are all just people, and I'll venture that we "just people" have overcome some very interesting challenges in our lives. I don't write about my experiences from an author's viewpoint, but rather as an observer. I'm fascinated by where life has led me and amazed at the unexpected turns it has taken. And so I write. Will I publish? That depends in large part on you! Will you read and give me your honest feedback? I'm publishing a chapter a week on my Prose and Cons site. You may come in at the middle somewhere, but no matter. I'll do a rerun of the chapters written after they've gone around. Here's the link:
Author's PreviewMy trip to France at 18, and return to the U.S. from Mexico are major turning points and provide a bit of excitement. If you miss these chapters, just keep reading. They'll return.
