Living in My House Isn't Always Easy

Good morning all.  I am a new author.  I self-published my book.  It really is quite an accomplishment for me.  I have been writing the stories for over 30 years.  My family has always told me I should have them published.  A few years ago I started to put them in the computer and printed out every one.  Unexperienced in the writing field I knew I needed help.  To the bookstore I go.  Wow, look at all the books on publishing.  Yes, I walked out with one book that I put in the closet to read at a later date.  Years later I watched the movie "Julia and Julia" and it gave me a new inspiration.  I finished putting the book on paper.  My husband was shocked I finally got it done.  Next I need a publisher.
