>You've got a topic. You're an alcoholic, manic depressive, seperated , love your children. Whats not to write about. Good writing/art doesn't come from a perfect life it comes from a real life..

I think the world has enough addiction memoirs already. It may be true but that doesn't mean anyone wants to read it.

IMO a good book should have some adventure in it. Storms at sea, mountain climbs, children lost and found. My life as it is bores me so why should it interest anyone else?

I claim no knowledge of great art but its provenance seems random to me. Sometimes it seems disconnected from the artist.
