Aidan Mc Nally Good, good. Thanks for asking
Aidan Mc Nally So uncomfortable the feeling of almost the pain of a boil on my shoulder just about at my shoulder blade.
I can check in the bathroom mirror, oh my GOD !!! What is moving beneath my skin....
Aidan Mc Nally I get the point that is being made here and cannot find a flaw or call fowl. My feeling in writing my own story has been a ton of hard work in all arenas. The case for me would be a simple one, if it is a story that someone feels it must be told, then tell it. The method of how and who really would not bother me. I have several more stories to tell and each are as unbelievable as the next, for this I believe it is worth telling.
My memoir TWO sons TOO many is one of those such stories that whomever were to write it, it is a shocking story that must be told.
Is it fair to have a more professional approach of a ghost writer? Perhaps not fair if comparing how timeline and churning out book after book when someone like myself has only one keyboard only one mind and one set of eyes and hands to bring my own story to life, however, doing a self publish as I did leaves or more like opens a whole new door to a world of books. I prefer the learning curve all the while, allow my story to be told.
Perhaps a ghost writer could have taken my exact story and a perfect manuscript could have soared to number one best seller on it's first day of release.
I prefer the learning curve and all that goes with the early released edition being the wrong file and littered with errors, as opposed to the better edited version. And simple little problems, but would this not just take away some rawness?
I guess to finalize, I have much preferred my own method as opposed to write as I did not view it as a book that would be available for sale and only as a manuscript that I would share with friends just so they could get a grasp at some of the unbelievable events that have occurred in my own life.
Story worth telling is a story worth writing, "they say"
So get it done and get it told, regardless of the actual writer....
That's my take at least.
Aidan Mc Nally Oh so many to choose.
Being Irish, well we grew up in a magical land which could easily be considered fictional however the childhood lessons we learned of our folklore would suggest many lands and times.
To bring to you to a land of leprechauns and shamrock would be just to say come on home. Hahahahha
Tir Na Nog..... pronounced tear Na Noooo-gue
Or sounds like Rougue for example.
Direct translation from our ancient Irish language meaning
Land of the young....
Aidan Mc Nally Very interesting thoughts springing to mind, perhaps adventure. No definitely adventure, something to make a child dream or daydream rather. To be honest with all of their adventure being ideal and perfect making for an adventure to lose their mind but really believe in. As children deserve to be WOWED and always believing in magical beauty. Our world can be quite cruel so for me a children's story would most definitely be a magical adventure of all things wonderful.
Aidan Mc Nally The book TWO sons TOO many is my life and the mysteries that have taken place. The simple answer is my book TWO sons TOO many is all about my own life. I do hope you take a read
Aidan Mc Nally Intetrsting question. Fictional couple, so many to like. Probably myself and my current ex. As it has always just been fictional.

So hard to pick just one couple, seriously.
I like Mr. & Mrs Heart.
The most fun and adventurous couple ever to hit the market.
I never yet met any couple remotely like them yet all their adventures seem so real.

That is my anseer for today although on any given day this could change. I do hope this helps you and is a suitable answer to your question
Aidan Mc Nally Just like talking , keep doing it and it will all make sense and come together sooner or later.
Aidan Mc Nally Three fold , 1st putting it on paper and reading it back for the 50th time.
2nd the experience of the nerves and anxiety when putting it "out there" for the first time.
3rd. Actually knowing I sold a book to which someone said "I can't put it down"
Aidan Mc Nally seeing as I am only just an aspiring writer myself it would be hard to give advice. to date I just keep going. Rejections are part of the business and should not alter your spirit or drive
Aidan Mc Nally The work is published in self publish format and so now it is on to complete marketing and an edit or two here and there. With my life being the basis for the new book, the daily livings are the note pad of today.
It is also that the chapters within my new current book all lend themselves for complete books themselves. there are some ideas of expanded chapters
Aidan Mc Nally I have had a magnificent run of great luck in my years and it has been balanced with some terrible bad luck. To me some of my life, a lot of it seems surreal and I wanted to share it as it appears unbelievable.
Aidan Mc Nally This is a memoir, So indeed from my whole life.
