How do you get a book published?
by Awakened at Gilead in
1. jw
2. experiences
since leaving jws i have read as many books as i have found written by exjws... i have noticed that some on this board have projects and books that they are working on.... i have an idea for a book that seems to fill a niche in the exjw market... i won't say what it is yet, since i don't want anyone stealing my idea, since it is just hatching... but suffice it to say that i see a need for this book that i would like to write... and i think i could do it... .

i am going to start writing soon, as i have all tehse ideas swimming around in my head... i need to get them onscreen in my computer...any ideas on how to start to get something published?

Elder calling around

i'm a new member as i've not completely left the org yet and being a "good lil jw" would never have looked at a site like this previously!

there is one elder in the cong who calls around every so often to "chat" as i only stopped attending meeting a couple of months ago.

i've spoken to him about certain subjects - eg the un thing and the misuse of quotes - but he has no useful answers for me.

well some of you know that i gave my son over (custody) to his jw dad after a vicious 7 year long custody battle.

it broke my heart but i ran out of ways to keep fighting and it was tearing our family apart.

anyway for the last 1& 1/2 years he's lived with his dad and spent all holidays and summer break w/me.

i was talking to my neighbor earlier today and he told me his daughter was buying a house.

the house, a brand new 3 bedroom/2 bath built to energy star standards, has been for sale for over a year.

it was built by a local low to moderate income housing organization funded with a mix of public/private dollars.
