Yes, I definately want to write "Stage IV Cancer: Incurable is NOT Terminal", and now you've given me the best reason! One of the comments I got in the breast cancer community said that all her friends treat her like a ghost, as if it's just a matter of time before they're attending her funeral... It's about people not wanting to face THEIR OWN mortality, so they will dump someone with that shadow of death in order to stay in denial about how short life can really be. I've been so lucky in that dept; I've inspired folks to grab onto life & stop waiting for the "right time" to make a necessary change...The office manager at my old job gave notice last week & is going into public speaking, which she's great at, but didn't know until work asked her to attend toastmasters to network for the business (we have folks in Kiwanis, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce & stuff like that; need an insurance agent, hey there's that guy from Rotary...)

I'd been thinking that my personal story might be an easier sell to a major publisher than the spirituality book; each perspective is unique, and there need to be LOTS more stories of hope for Stage IV's.

Hmmmm, maybe I could do that "Stories of Hope; Stage IV Breast Cancer Survivors. Then I could include other women's stories and get THEM royalties!!!!

*sniffle* This disease is SUCH a financial burden on so many women & families, if I could do something like that.... Do you think that's possible? If so, I want to write that one first, and put the other books on hold (well, not completely, 'cuz the pagan book should write itself fairly easily; my gods are kinda adamant about that one, but it's got a limited audience) I wanna reach the masses (and let's face it, get an advance from a publishing company so I can live comfortably)

Never hurts to dream big, right?
