Want to Get Sued? Write About Your Ex!

Want to Get Sued? Write About Your Ex!

Well…my dilemma is that the person I would write about is my ex-husband, who would probably pursue vengeance on me, but there is a chance he might not. I am not going to pursue any vindication on him or try to slander him, but only to convey my testimony as to how I became a better person because of my experiences with, through, and because of him.
I don’t want any potential lawsuit, but I also cannot publish under another name or deny the truth that I want to write. In other words, I don’t want to hide. Perhaps as I write, I will end up fictionalizing it, but I won’t know until I am finished writing if that will be the result.
I want to share my story and I hope it will help people. I have asked other authors what they know about lawsuits on this, and they don’t know or they say to trust and write it anyway. Do you have any other information in addition to that other article?

My BookLocker Books are Beautiful!

Two weeks ago, I showed at the Schoolhouse Art Fair, where I had a table with both of my books. The books sold well and a few self published authors mentioned how beautiful my books were! Having only worked with you, I didn’t know what they were referring to. Of the five I had lengthy conversations with, each had complaints: slanted printing, blurred printing and one even had a blurred jacket cover.
Wow! Am I happy I am with BookLocker.

Another Question on Using Song Lyrics

My question – because my new novel is devoted to lines from various songs, does it matter how old the song is? What about songs from the 40s, for instance?

From Unemployment to Full-time Writing By Dana E. Neuts

In 2003, I moved from Indiana to Washington state, sight unseen, to take a job in the financial services industry only to be laid off nine months later. I was a single mom in a new state, with no job, no family and few friends. What I did have, though, was one freelance client, a passion for writing, and a stubborn streak that would keep me going…
