How interesting is your life story?
Jump to: Newest in thread
My eldest once said to me "Mum, you should write a book about your life".
Now, if I still had a brain that could remember everything-in chronological order-and write in an interesting manner, I'd do it.
There would be tears, laughter and some very hot sex scenes  |

On one hand I had a very dull period during my teenage years where I wasn't in a position to do anything that normal teens do but on the other hand I literally grew up in a war zone where I had to walk through the most heavily fortified part of Europe going to and from school from the age of 5.
I've witnessed huge explosions 100 yards from my front door including an oil tanker shooting into the air and landing 50 yards from my bedroom window.
I've been held at gunpoint half a dozen times and had a gun put to my head on 3 different occasions while members of both republican and loyalist paramilitaries as well as a group of Paras either hijacked my vehicle or took thousands of pounds worth of products from me.
I've seen people shot and killed and I've had to rescue colleagues who were tied up and locked in vehicles or a storeroom by gangsters posing as freedom fighters.
Apart from that it's been pretty boring. |

I've started more than once to format a book of my life
They say we all have a book in us and though I've published Poetry, children's short stories and recipe books, I have yet to get any further on my life story. |

"Would it make a good book or film maybe TV drama.
Or
Far too boring other than to immediate family.
"
Other folk seem to find my life story and crazy adventures somewhat noteworthy, as for me, I just see myself as someone skating unremarkably through life |

I think I could probably get two pretty decent sized book's
Lot's of sad depressing shit, , drama and heartbreak lot's of sexual stuff some good some not good,lack of health and wealth, lot's of uplifting inspirational stuff, heartwarming, lot's of love and compassion but sadly lots of hatred, funny stuff.
My biggest issue is remembering it all due to a head injury 15 years ago my memory is a bit fuzzy and pretty much non existent particularly the details relating to childhood traumas.
It'd certainly be an eye opener |

As I tell people I don’t need to make things up, my life really has been fun and I have done all these things. I have been bless in that regard. A film though, it would jump from one thing to another too much  |
