Book draft first print. Off my computer

This is a first draft of my book. Printed on my computer. My goal, for which you are going to hold me accountable, is to finish this book and be ready to look for publishers in the fall.

It’s so different having it all printed out. The story takes on a whole new meaning. I think I’ll need a box of kleenex while marking this up. But it’s all good.

Charles is my co-author since his published and unpublished lyrics are included as his part of the story. It shows how the mind of someone who suffered from addiction, depression, and thoughts of suicide. It will answer a lot of the why for a lot of people with loved ones who suffer.
