i am 23 years old with 2 kids and a disbaled boyfriend. i take care of everything, shopping, cleaning, the kids, etc. yet amazingly i do not do drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol to relieve the stress. do any of you think if i wrote a story about my life, changing names, that it would sell great?

Who knows. Many good writers wrote many books just for fun, and their works became best sellers. Just look what happened to Stephenie Meyer. Of course, I don't think you are going to write about vampires, but who knows. You will never find out, unless you give it a try.

I think that a lot of people have got lives which could be written into a book if they had the time to sit and write it. I have started writing a book, and even though it is not about my life there are a lot of things in it which are a little bit like some things that have happened during the course of my life. It is good to start writing things down that happen in a diary so that you would have a lot of inspiration when you decide to start writing, because if you don't do this then chances are you might struggle to get good ideas when it comes to it.

I think it would be beneficial to write a fiction story and incorporate some of your experiences into it. I write fantasy and put in things that happened in real life (changing the names of course). Take a look at what's out there and see what's selling. Paranormal romance, fantasy, etc. As for selling great, well that's not a given but if you want to write I encourage it.

hi there,
with regard to your post, well, perhaps it will be best to give it a try. for sure, you will get and attract more readers since you are a great woman, doing those chores plus taking care of your loved ones. having that kind of attitude is truly an exceptional and very rare to find nowadays. it will be a great story to fascinate and inspire the readers, so it will be a blockbuster story to read by many.

Every life is a best seller in its own way. Of course, a biography would be interesting to read, many people like this gender and there are surely people outside wondering how do you manage everything. The kind of life you live is not easy and needs a lot of strength and responsability. If your book will find many readers and sold a lot also depends a bit of how do you relate it. I am sure people would encourage you to write your book. Your book also could help others in a similar situation not to give up and to carry on helping others.

It's a good deed about everything you do. But you haven't mentioned about your kids. And what is about your disabled boyfriend. Does he have anything interesting about your life? I mean, we're talking about a best-selling novel here, right?
Thanks for sharing.
