>Write a novel about my own life >It's too honest

or just use pseudonym idiot

Make the character a black female, but otherwise tell the same story.

Make it of people from a different country or culture. Use a pseudonym if and when you publish it.

What I'm doing for mine is imagining that I had grown up as the same basic person, but under twisted circumstances. In real life I have a sister and a relatively comfortable home life. In my story, I'm an only child and my parents are divorced. I like to think about how such circumstances would have affected my development and turned me into a different person. Otherwise, most of the events of this thing I plan to write are just shit that happened to me during my childhood.

So maybe that will work for you, too: change a few important details of your life and imagine how different things would be.

What if OP is a black girl

>>7332843
Stop being a pussy and try to publish it. Pseudonym if you must, but a face behind a work like this is always a huge plus. People will be very interested in the product of such experiences.

Sylvia Plath did it before.

Fuck around in Europe for a few months doing 'research' and then set all the action there.

thinking your life is worthy of a novel is egomania and usually amounts to pure shit.

put it in a drawer

>It's too honest and disturbing and will alienate me from everyone and my family

Publish it anyway.

Change names. Use a nom de plume.

I thought you died Thomas Wolfe.

Use a psuedonym. Or, if you're bold, don't. Look at the modern day Proust who wrote Mein Kampf.

>>7332843
Change the names

It doesn't matter because it sucks and will never be published.

But everyone has a story to tell! Each subjective view on the miracle of life is worth existing on its own. Do you really want to be this fatalistic? I bet if you didnt immedietly assume the worst without having any reason to and if you would take some more risks, someone might even read your own story!

> everyone has a story to tell

Most are pretty boring, though (mine included)

>>7332843
Just sit on it and start writing something else. The solution will come to you with time. If your story is truly good, it won't matter when it is published.
