Iv decided now that I'm am defiantly and some point going write a book about a big part of my life and something if wished to write about for ages and that is my imaginary Wife Katie who has let's just say helped me through allot the last couple of years and has finally managed to help me go forward and start to see help for things in my life I want to change and problems I have, her however is a different subject as I'm very attached to her and we would love to kinda as a couple but still one person as I knowledge what she is as she knowledges it to as a girl I made to fill voids in my life, encourage me, support me, making me feel happy etc but she though not real means an awful lot to me, some may call me mad out never the less.

Never the less back to the point, If I where to write a book should I write it from my view, her view or as a more knowledge book eg she did this in that situation this helped by.... I feel this because she.....

Anyway tell me what you think if you have an questions about well not just the whole book idea thingy but just the whole imaginary girl thing in general feel free to ask. Thanks Again :)

Maybe you could just write the prologue from your point of view, and the rest of the book from hers. Or vice-versa. I;d be nice to get both sides of the story

Would it be a factual autobiography style book, or fiction? I could see a good fiction book being made out of the plot of a man who has an imaginary wife his whole adult life, but who eventually meets a real woman, and has to deal with the conflicting emotions he has between this real person and the imaginary being he's loved for so long. Writing it as an autobiography would also be very interesting because the concept is so unique. It would make an excellent addition to the "autistic autobiographies" already on the shelves. I would probably read it.

I was thinking more along the lines of nonfiction uts my story however its still on goung as to say and I have not yet found somebody, I agree that would make a wonderful book but id like it make my story so idk maybe I should wait till I finsh it myself instead of writing at what I wiukd consider a half way point.

That's a good idea actually, I will think on it.

Also forgot to mention even currently I can feel this way, like I want somebody real but can I get rid of that attachment to her, took the words out of my mouth on that one.
