So i guess iv'e been writing a "book" the past couple of months in secret (don't want any of my friends or family to know about it until it's done). It's about my life and me being brutally honest about it and talking about all the fucked up things that happened to me but also the fucked things i have done (nothing illegal). I have zero background in writing, i hardly read any books and the only reason i started doing this is because i see it as therapy and i think it can help myself and other people. Anyways i think i'm close to being done but then i realized something. I don't know how to edit and format and a book. Iv'e just been writing non stop and haven't even been breaking this shit up into chapters. Where or how can i learn to do these things and really polish, format and edit my "book"?
An autobiography should ideally be chronological and therefore accessible to the reader. Chapters should separate the book into periods of your life but it'd be forgivable if especially massive events were isolated to single chapters too.
Read a lot to see how the masters approach the craft. Read William Strunk's Elements of Style. Practice.
