To help my mental health I was thinking of writing a book of my life but unsure how to or what site to use any advice you could give me on how to achieve this goal. I feel in a mid life crisis. I need something to do in my life
Hello @JimH1984, that sounds like a great idea! I'd recommend starting by just writing it. Either with pen and paper or on a computer with software like Word. I wouldn't recommend starting with a website and if you do, be really certain to check the terms as I have found many that the terms state they have ownership of your work.
Once you get into the swing of things and feel like you've got a story to tell, you could potentially look at things like self publishing options if that's your end goal?
This sounds like a wonderful idea @JimH1984! Please keep us updated on how this goes if you feel comfortable to😊
Have you thought about starting with a blog?
Writing a book sounds like a great idea. Have you done much writing before?
I think the best advice I’ve ever heard about writing is just to get it out of your head and onto paper (or a word processor!!)
I type a lot of my memories on that x platform does that count ?
Maybe you could look back on what you've posted and put it into a document @JimH1984, that sounds like a good way to start.
Do you feel like you're a person that likes planning things, or are you more spontaneous? As others have said, it might be good to start it offline and go from there as the terms and conditions of websites can be a bit tricky.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
