Thinking About Writing A Book About My Acne

I've been suffering on and off from acne for 18 years now, so I thought maybe I could write a book about my journey.

To help plan it I've been noting down my acne history and all the various anecdotes that I've collected over the years.

The problem I'm having, though, is that acne doesn't follow a standard narrative! There's not really a beginning, middle and end for my acne. Not yet anyway. At the moment it's been more like 'Beginning, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle etc"

I can, though, detail what it's like to be an acne sufferer - the highs, the many, many lows and even the humour - so I'm thinking it could be interesting to people.

I wouldn't be looking to make my fortune out of this book, but think it might be good for me to get it all down on paper. I also wouldn't be bothering publishers for a commission, I'd just stick it out on Amazon as an e-book. And don't worry, acne.org members will be able to purchase it for free for the first week!

Would anyone here be interested in reading about someone else's acne journey or is there enough on these forums to keep you busy?

Thanks

Funny because I'll be writing a book/novel in the future and I'll be relaying the struggles I had to undergo with acne as certain messages throughout the book. Such as my mental state, feeling pain and whatnot, but to story form that has nothing to do with acne in itself
