  4. even though someone has written about their own experiences, yours are unique and also the sound really fascinating.i would read the book.i say go for it.who cares if somebody else has written something along exact same lines.your story is different no issue what.

  5. I’m not aware of any books like your idea, but I’m not exactly a librarian. Regardless, you can but your thoughts together for your personal benefit as well as others. Quite often our identity could be wrapped up in our careers, when there is a change there could be emptiness left. Fortunately, it’s not to late to fill that void as lengthy as we are still alive. A single of the best ways to get your phone to ring is to dial it first. Just like everything else in existence that is worthwhile it will take time. Good Luck
