I've finally started writing a novel that I may want to get published. I started it Tuesday and now (On Thursday) I am up to 15 pages written. IT being a first draft, I'm sure it will end up having a lot more details in a later draft. I may need some help editing. And unless I pay to have it published through something like lulu.com, I'm not positive how to get a publisher's attention. Everyone wants to be famous and have a book published. They must have some kind of screening process, but how I take the first step is a mystery to me.
The working title is "The Unluckiest Hero." It's about a woman in a dead end job finding her passion and following her dreams. Kind of like rags to riches only she has a dark past which comes out eventually. She's far from perfect, being overweight, Bipolar, and a former cutter. Yes it is loosely based on me. But I make significant changes to how I grew up as to not embarrass my family. My main character is also younger than I am, which is a first.
I think it will be a fun book to read. A little bit of humor and a little bit of drama. It's a work of fiction I hope I can be proud of.
