| | | Your autobiography Would it be an interesting read? Have you written it? Are you writing it as we speak?  What would be the highlights? |

| | | I've been concidering this for a long long time. I'm not being weird or whatever, but I have lived a pretty crazy life. Mostly white trash drama, it's true, but people seem to find it interesting, like tellign stories at parties is fun and my KR meltdows spill some. My 1st husband was joking with me recently about helping me write it since I tend to forget a lot of it. It's actually the reason I started blogging. My blogging is more about keeping tabs for later.

| | | When I tell people of my life, I seem to get some pretty "empathetic" looks. So I'd say so. Lots of potholes in the road I've traveled. Thumperlyn DOES have a worse road though. Like a freaky back road. |

| | | I haven't been raped or molested or beaten or anything that would sell like hotcakes, but I do have a winning formula: interesting + heart +characters.
Highlights would be my experiences skipping between insane private schools and insane public schools, and the CHARACTERS that I've encountered in my life. I'd also include an account of my trip into clinical insanity and depression and back. |

I'd like to think, in my narcissistic fairy land, that I will write the book, which will then be made into a movie, in which I will play myself. It will propel (lol to prhf - he's drinking propel water) me into fame. I will then become a real actress and play Corky in the movie of her life, in that I will finally learn proper guitar, so I'll start a band, sell out rockstar style, and die happy, rich and having fullfilled all my dreams

Like my family would play a huge part of the story, but what happened to them w/o me all helped sculpt me. |

LOL thanks a lot, I hope so!! *Fingers crossed* I'm in the process of writing it (it's in its infant stages) but it's slowly developing into something worthwhile.  |

I wouldn't go for straight auto-biography. Mostly the loosley-based type of barely fiction, so that I don't hurt anyone's feelings that I care about.

| | | I've considered it several times and almost tried to, but then gave up in the midst of it because if I do it will be a long task that's pretty emotionally draining. Highlights would be finally getting a proper relationship with my mother after years of not accepting who she had become after what my biological father put her through, disorders, paranormal experiences, deaths, drugs, failed engagements, all sorts of crap. I know I have a life story that would sell...it's just that like I said it's emotionally draining.

| | i've never even had the slightest inclination towards writing about my life story, cause well NOTHING has happened. like a freakish absence of things really, which i guess in and of itself could be strangely interesting. if done the right way. i've always had a complex and dramatic inner life. relative functional isolation is my story i guess. my only personal asset is my imagination. i can sure as hell MAKE UP a story (if i do say so myself  ). ..storytelling is like air for me, i cant imagine life without it it makes up how i think, how i see things, its something i really really believe in, akin to a religious perspective.....
...but... i have no story myself. maybe thats why i like to think of them. who knows.
although if there ever somehow ened up being an autobiography , subject: me, i know what i'd call it : "I Come From An Island." cause i actually do. hahah... and well double entendre and all that, lol *tard*
i dont know why i wrote all of this out, but *applause* if you read it.
i would absolutely read some of your memoirs. just being on KR for all these years has stoked my curiousity about some people's stories. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
