And, remember that there ARE people who want to hear what you say. The challenge is finding those people….

Thanks so much for the tips. While the main purpose of the website I’m developing is a blog that inspires others and builds community among those of us who have struggled with traumatic issues (like abuse), I could sure use some extra money to add to my minimal Disability Income. It’s also been a dream of mine for a long time to publish my story as a book, and I’m hoping that, down the road a ways, the website will serve as a platform for selling any writing I might publish.

So, for me, sharing my story (and finding others willing to share theirs) is HUGE. It’s good to hear that your readers respond to the more personal posts you write. One of the tapes playing in my head is that no one will want to hear what I have to say.

Anytime you’d like a reader to review something you’ve written, please consider me. While not a professional editor, I could certainly share my perspective as a reader. I’ve been told I write well, which I believe comes from being an avid reader, including this blog.

This is a very good idea for a post. It really gives us a sense for what to expect in the book.

Of course I’m happy to write a review if you’d like.
