I have done some research. Lots of places say you need a good following or else publishers will not take one look at you. You can always self-publish your book. I suggest you do this but it takes money to distribute your book. I suggest that you do not get to involved in trying to distribute your book through a self-publishing firm. Mainly because you are a writer trying to sell your book to other crittical writers. If you have the money then I suggest giving some copies of you book away to friends and family. If they love the book (and I mean really love it), then ask them to share the book with friends. You can also take it to your local librarian and have them read it. You can ask them the procedure to request your book be on the shelf. You get free exposure if you have enough people request your book.
The trick to self-publishing is to be committed enough to put in the leg work.

Were You Drunk?
Here is another idea. Good Luck.

She laid in the bed wondering where he was. She spoke to him earlier and he seemed fine then.
She hated feeling this way. She felt powerless.
She wondered if he cared about her. He drank but not like this. She was tired of worrying about him.
She wanted to yell at him. If she yelled at him then he would retreat into himself. She wanted to yell at him and tell him how scared it made her.

My Dad
Last night I had a dream about a boy that was in trouble. His alcoholic father was yelling at him and his friend. The father physically went after the friend. The son tried to defend the friend and hit the father. The father beat him almost every day for what he did. The boy grew up to be an alcoholic and died in a car accident.
That was my dream or nightmare. Maybe someone can fashion a good story out of that dream.
