Book Number one

Some time ago, I met half of my family for the first time, and said goodbye to the other half for the last time.  It was a traumatic, life changing period of my life, and one that became a turning point in many ways.  I started to try and make sense of everything, and as a result, I suppose I was trying to make sense of me.  Anyway, to the point of this post.  I started to write my life story for want of a better description.   It was really an exercise in self analysis rather than anything else, but it worked as a good form of therapy at the time, along with the real therapy of course.  Now, I tucked it all away, in what I thought was a semi finished state, and forgot all about it up until today.  I read an article about self publishing, and found a few interesting companies...One of these does a nifty little online application (and yes...you guessed it..an iPhone app too), so I uploaded what I had written so far, and was surprised to see that I had written over 30,000 words.  This is roughly four or five chapters short of being finished.  Now, having re-read some of it, I am wondering of one last push might be worthwhile.  I’m also wondering whether anyone would bother to read it, or more importantly I suppose, find it interesting.  I feel I ought to make the effort really.
