I have been homeless 4 times in my life because of Alcoholism. I now have a chance to write a 10 to 15 page story on being homeless on the streets of Chicago & being an alcoholic. It is for a " Free Newspaper " in Chicago. It is read by about 1,500,000 every week ( it is a weekly newspaper )
Should I do this thing? I have been told that I am a good writer, I only write about the truth, meaning things that I have experienced. Certain people ( College Instructors ) that I know, say go for it, it will bennifit a great many people. Example ....... the Yuppies who read the paper will be able to better understand the homeless situation etc etc ..... What do you, my yahoo answer friends think about this?? Any & all advice is welcome. I humbly thank you ..... Jerry ....... p.s. I did in fact suffer frostbite in January 2005, causing me to lose 1/2 of my right leg and 1/2 of my left foot.....today I am clean and sober & living in Southern Wisconsin. Received my " GED "
