I made a lot of progress with my depression these past weeks and am finally motivated to read and write again.
I've started writing an a long time ago, to cope with what I've been through, but also to release it one day.

I'd love to let other people contribute chapters to my book. Essays on various topics that come up in my story.

So now I'm asking you all, if there is anyone who could think of writing such an essay for me, because you are affected by the topic yourself, or are an expert in the field.
Or if you know someone, who would be perfect for that topic.

Here are a few of the topics:




( @ueckueck, you said you might write that one, still interested?)



There are other topics as well, but I already have people in mind who I'll directly ask to write essays about them; especially topics around .

The essays should be at least 2-5 pages long and provide a general gist about the topic, but ideally also contain something personal, like what the topic means to you.
Written in or .

Preliminary deadline is summer '24, but a lot can change until then and if you need longer, don't worry.

Please :boost: . Thanks. ❤️

I followed the wind song. I followed the thunder. I followed the neon in young lovers' eyes. A memoir in one toot.

Book 40, 2023: The Beauty of Living Twice - Sharon Stone
Interesting autobiography. I had no idea about her tough upbringing. She’s been through a lot, including a bleed on the brain and a couple of strokes. @bookstodon

Welcome to
the album / line 1

I've been looking for a way to combine my daily writing practice, a love of writing short prose and over ten years of archive photography. This set of Shorts will combine all three and give me an opportunity to flex my creative mind in new and interesting ways. It will also form a rough autobiographical story of who I am and how I came to be here.

Thank you for your time. <3

Viva King’s autobiography, The Weeping and the Laughter

"...she offers a fastidious way of saying that her lovers were uniformly bad at foreplay: “I needed revving up — and though the men may have had the right tools, they were bad mechanics.”) "

Another ... Black By Design by The Selecter's Pauline Black. Not just for the 2-Tone fans, this excellent book is a potted social history of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st century told via Pauline's experiences - and all the things wrong in the UK. Not always easy reading but what a strong, talented woman.

Combined with a straightforward and unfussy writing style, this results in a surprisingly accessible and entertaining autobiography for the modern reader.

“I have often thought that to find a family to compare with ours in the promise of immortal memory, we must go back to the Egyptian Pharaohs: upon so many reefs and forelands that not very elegant name of Stevenson is engraved with a pen of iron upon granite.”
