B R E A T H E: Breathe... a preview!

BREATHE... a journal

This blog is a preview for my memoirs. Sort of a journal. I like to post some of my ideas and inspirations here.

The journal has about 145 pages written so far and will also feature some of my artwork and pictures. Not a book. Not a comic book. CHAOTIC, like me.

As you can see, I am not writing in a typical format. The pages might look like poems but it's simply because I like things short and simple. Clean.

If you have ever experienced depression, you know that reading a book with pages filled with words is discouraging and you quickly lose interest...

BREATHE focuses on what I have learned and experienced so far, after the loss of my dad and the depression that followed.

I started writing to vent, but it has led me to knowing myself a bit better-- my limits, my dreams.

I have finally gathered up the courage

(along with my therapist's encouragements)

to send a preview of my book/journal to a publisher!

Now here's my dilemma...

it's not a regular book,

it's not a comic book,

it's me on paper,

CHAOS and all!

Usually publishers go for one or the other...

But I am hopeful and positive

that there's a public out there for it.

Anonymous said...: i like it, too! the cover looks great. i like the mix of writing and drawings and everything kept simple.. i think there should be more 'mixed media' type of publications, they're such a pleasure to look through.
i found this by chance as i was looking for movies about depression.. it looks to me like you're being very creative, i admire that and i hope you get your book published!; June 13, 2010 at 4:01 PM
