I love to write and have written and published my own book. It is a devotional book called; "A Walk Through the Word". I don't know if I have been quoted by another writer, but I rather doubt it.
I self-published my book through Blurb. Com and am very pleased with the final product.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
