Hi all and happy New Year!
First post and would like input on a book idea: Finished TMF and am inspired to write a book/workbook/memoir due to the quote "impact millions and make millions".
Since it is coming from a female's point of view, it will have vignettes of the good, bad, painful and funny of a marriage that ended up in divorce. What I do not want is for it to be a book on male bashing and agonizing over the grief of "he moved on so fast, he's a fill-in-the-blanks, etc. etc." I want it simply to be a book of hope for women and men (who it possibly may be interested in the wife's POV) on the do's and don't in a marriage. What could have been done to prevent it or provide better insight from a voice after the dust has settled.
I have 20 years of experience (meaning was married) so I am an subject matter expert
. AAaaaand it comes from the Christian perspective. Please don't let that turn you off... See that's the thing that turned me off with divorce-esque books. It was generalized sprinkled with bible verses and no one wants to really admit where they messed up. I pretty much laid it out and wrote it so that should my grandkids read it, they will understand why grandma has hiccups 
I had gone through similar books and websites and the one thing I really dislike is the lack of hope and inspiration (without the loathing) of like "I am woman, hear me roar" after a break up. The women (am guilty) are losing their softness, their femininity after speaking of a breakup... I really want to lovingly say to women that respecting your husband is the key to a marriage and even if it does not work out, continue loving.
So I have about 30K word manuscript draft waiting to pull the trigger for an editor on Fiverr (but question on the quality there).
And how to scale? Once published, I hope to inspire those who have read it to write their own story and get it published and monetize on their labor of love. So that's where the workbook part comes in. In my head it sounds great but don't know quite if it will be received as informative.
Would love any feedback because I have been stalling! Kept this project from family and friends because I am not ready for the negatives. However, you all can provide valuable input from an unbiased perspective!!!
Thank you!
