It would have to look like the images of mass advertising -- you know, big bucks, big action, big smiles, big laughs and of course, plenty of sex. I don't think anyone's life consists of ONLY this stuff and I think everyone's life contains SOME of this stuff, so the only thing that matters is the imagination of the person writing the book, not the actual life of the person it is about.

My life has featueed all of those things prominently. It's just that it's also featured painful rectal itches, run-ins with the authorities, the time I went up to this smoking chick in a bar and belched when I opened my mouth to talk to her, the infamous and regrettable incident of breaking my own nose (long story but no one else has ever smacked me so hard as I have myself) etc. What I need is a good editor, one with a feel for the reading market.
