Writing a new book. The ups and the downs

I listened back to an interview I did on a radio station from back in March of this year. We were talking books and life and mostly of my life journey and how I got into writing in the first place. What I heard myself say was how I was working on a book and it was going to be more of a self help type book rather than a memoir. Memoirs have been my first and second book thus far. The titles, TWO sons TOO many, this has been my first book and the reasoning behind why I entered in to writing. When I had such a large manuscript for this book I needed to scale it down a bit as my question was, how do I squeeze it all in and not lose any part or piece as all has its own importance.
To elaborate a little and expand on a section of my life I compiled a second memoir, 17 & Life. This book is subtitled "A major crossroads or just a simple intersection". A series of questions being asked as I covered my own teenage years. There are stages in life that we all cross through and how can we really know if any decision we make is the B all end all of our lives or are simple decisions just part of our everyday life.

I am delighted to be in a position to now have my 4th book completed. Ahh yes I skipped book number 3. Book number 3 has been a compilation of my blog posts and some poems that I have written through my own personal journey in grief. Titled, My Grief, the last three years. This is a showing of how I have filled up my time in writing and a look at some of how I have continued on my journey. I will provide a link below to my web page where you can find links to each book on Amazon.
So the 4th book is now completed. What are the options now in front of an author. I do have options, I can spend a lot of time querying publishers and book agents for the big contract deal from a conventional publisher or I can push forward and self publish as with my previous titles. Those of us who write often are aware of the work load only begins after we have our manuscript finally completed. I will toy around with the idea for a few weeks and see where I land. The beauty and the most important piece for me as a writer is that, the project of getting it all down on paper has been completed and this is a joy that keeps a smile on my face.
Imagine I have completed a self help book. Yes there are parts of me and my journey in there that are like no other and are all my own real life. The techniques I have learned which have helped me overcome some of the mountains in my own life. I wanted to share with the world as it only seems fair, more importantly though is the hope I have to be able to allow others a fair shot at things and if my own suffering and learning can help any out there who live with or through struggling with their own lives or conditions. I share this great news with you so that you too can feel joyed for me or with me. Isn't it nice to share good news?

We have not been given perhaps the simplest life or even an easy road through. What we can do though is make some simple little alterations in how it all effects our own lives.
I look forward to your readership and feed back in all of my books and am very thankful to all who do support my writing.
To catch up on all and to maybe even find out why I am an expert on the areas that I write about. Take a read of my memoirs and catch up.
