Surviving the Writing Process
As many of you know, I have been writing my memoir for almost two years now. Sometimes I have been more actively writing than others, but that, after all, is why I label it survival.
If this is the first you are hearing of this venture, here is what I can tell you. I am a breast cancer survivor. I have known for a long time that I wanted to write the story of my journey through cancer. It took me an equally long time to figure out what that would look like. About a year and a half ago, I landed on an idea that I thought was kind of crazy. I would write about the lessons that I learned going through cancer and I would weave that together with the learning I have done as a recovering alcoholic in a twelve step program.
That idea stuck and the farther I journeyed into this labyrinth of lessons, the more I fell in love with this idea.
It has been a process. I wrote it. I sent it to beta readers. I revised it. I sent it to my editor. I revised it. And now, 54,000 words later I am almost done formatting it. I am awaiting a draft of a cover design and proofreading for about the millionth time. I can’t believe it, but I have almost reached the end of this journey.
I am excited to tell you, that within the next couple months my memoir will be published and available to purchase. To those of you that have supported me along the way, thank you so much!
