Thanks for that inspirational story. I'm sure it will help a lot of writers who are struggling with issues that are serious, but hopefully no where as serious as yours. I had my year when chemo left me with low energy, struggling to make writing a priority, but as you demonstrated writing--no matter how little you can put in each day--can be part of one's recovery. Like you, I'm grateful each day I can sit down at my laptop and let the words roll.

Wow, I'm nowhere near that harrowing story of yours, but I'm currently recovering from acute bronchitis that laid me flat for over a week. I literally slept 17 hours yesterday, with my body desperately trying to recover. Which means writing hasn't been happening anywhere near what I want. Thanks for the inspiration here, though. I will get back in the groove, and I appreciate hearing your story. So amazing!

Very deep story written in such a humorous manner. Wish I had that skill. Fantastic come back. You just cant imagine the visual image I saw when I read Dinosaur Porn.
Please check with others when you push out stray thoughts like that.

My goodness, what a journey. But one with hope and determination and success. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I find it difficult to write when my depression flares up - but then I find it difficult to do anything but care for my children when that happens. I'm forgiving of myself though. I can only take it one day at a time and, when I return to wellness, I return to writing.
