Suggestions needed!!
So, Livejournal. I need some help.
Being in the midst of this unemployment fiasco, moving fiasco, and general life upheaval, I am having a hard time writing fiction. I manage about one poem a week, but that's not enough, really.
So if fiction is out, and so is poetry (for the most part), what would be a good nonfiction project for me to attack wholeheartedly?
I am torn between a few options:
1. An offbeat take on frugal living, coming at it from being a spoiled middle-class girl all my life, and having to learn to adapt to my new existence.
2. A similar book, but about entertaining on a budget.
3. A book of essays about my fantastico husband (I've already written a couple, so this at least has a beginning).
4. A craft book of some sort (suggestions for niche are appreciated, probably no knitting as my hands are terrible these days).
5. A graphic novel full of really terrible art (by me) with wonderful writing (egotistically, by me) about mental health and my experiences.
6. A slightly better researched non-graphic book about mental health and my experiences (I have been informed that this would probably never sell, but is selling really the point?)
7. Something wacky and interesting (please offer your suggestions in the comments! Anything goes!)
