This is a very ambitious project you’re tackling here, but I know that you’re up to the task. Some stories seem to have a life of their own and demand to be told; I think this is one of those.
As to process, I see you’ve been offered some sound advice, but I’m going to add my two cents : to assist in self-editing, I use a text-to-speech app, which really helps catch those little errors that we fail to “see” when we attempt to edit or read our own writing. When you listen to another “voice” reading the piece, it’s really much easier to “hear” the mistakes.
I can’t wait to read the book when it’s done AND I’d appreciate links to all of your books so that I can have a good enjoyable read! 🥰🥰❤️🤗🥰😁😢🥰 Good luck! 🤞

Hello my friend @itsostylish. Thank you very much for your feedback.
I think your suggestion is excellent. It 'sounds' different when another voice reads our words. The voice in our heads sometimes is too familiar to catch errors. My son (very literate lad) has offered to edit for me also. That is my fail-safe. Nothing like having free help😀. He has encouraged me to write this for years. I think I'm on my may. My husband has begun to open up and that is key. All I need to do is let him tell his story. It's not my story. I didn't know him then. I sometimes wonder what he was like before he went to Vietnam. We probably wouldn't have gotten along. I think I needed the mature, seasoned man. Most men that age were just too vapid for me 😂
Yes, they were too vapid 4 me 2. I gravitated to older men. However, my first marriage was to a man my own age and he was NEVER my age. He had an old soul, a shiny mind and a beautiful heart. He died at 26.
!!!!
OMG. I am so sorry. That will make you grow up, if nothing else does😯
😭😭😭 Dm'ed you 💗
