Forgiving Myself for Trying to Save My Marriage

That major problem is word count. What's so important about word count, you may ask. Industry standards is the answer. Every genre has a word length that is acceptable to traditional publishers. If I want my story to be published by a well-respected publisher...and I do...I must adhere to the standard. A short memoir is about 65,000 words. A long memoir is about 90,000 words. Mine is about 46,000, so
my work is about twenty thousand words short of a short memoir. Yikes!There are various ways I can approach this problem, and I'm in the process of figuring it out. More about that later.

She has a name. But in my house, she’s referred to as The-girl-who-doesn’t-like-me-and-I-don’t- know-why. Do you have anyone in your life like that? In social situations, she steers clear of you and refuses to make eye contact. When trying to reach out, you draw back an emotional nub of rejection.
