    What if the Memoir is mainly based on an event that's happened to you which has never happened in the world to anyone else before, and won't ever happen to anyone again either. A complete doozy event, meaning nobody would relate to the main concept. But the event needs to be known as well. Unsure if it will alienate or engage readers. Would you want to read it and find out all about it, and my life? Wonder the best way to get it known about and published etc.. It could be a classic, right?

      Unless you're an alien, it has at its core a relatable concept meaning you're a human and other humans will have experiences with the core issue. Your job is to find that relatability....and write the story in a way people can recognise themselves.

      @@LouisaDeaseytv Thanks for replying. I will go through with writing my book. It has to be written. Like yh, within the story there would be many elements people can relate to, but my life's not normal. Stuff I'm connected to and what happens is not normal. I had a freak event of misfortune in the lottery happen that's decillions to one in odds. Equivalent to about 5 lottery wins the whole thing happening like it did. It is a long, crazy, impossible story, yh. You're Australian I believe. 1st lottery win was via my uncle who won the West Australian lottery in 2002. I did stay in Perth for about a year in 2009/10, which was great. Uncle only gave me $1000 from his win though, which went on rent to his best friend's wife whose house I stayed in for about 6 months. Crazy things and connections happened there as well. For example, on my very final night there I met Tom Green in McDonald's at 2 in the morning. Only me and him there in the queue. I was a huge fan of his show like 10 years earlier. He looked so different though, I couldn't be sure if it was him. Yh, was a really interesting and funny encounter that was. People may find that intersting and funny. Weird things like that happen to me, yh. I got hundreds of video game world records. Became a Scrabble master recently. Beat world's 1st ever Scrabble Champion Peter Morris and best Female woman Natalie Zolty on my 1st games against them, having only been playing it 2 years. Sort of am a bit alien. Maybe people would still want to read about it. Call the book 'You Won't Believe My Story' Perhaps.
