I have not read any of your story - I don't know where it is - but I still wish you lots of luck with it. And please do not consider yourself anything LESS than a writer simply because you have not had a book published yet. What makes a writer is the ability to write - getting published is a wonderful bonus, I agree, but being able to write is a gift in itself that not everyone has. <BR/><BR/>You clearly have it in abundance and - as a fellow writer - i wish you nothing but good fortune.<BR/><BR/>Lots of love.JILLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111159663001456218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-77030233622199068982008-01-30T20:24:00.000+00:002008-01-30T20:24:00.000+00:00I'm on that kind of HRT too and messed up the pill...I'm on that kind of HRT too and messed up the pills one month.

I’m still astonished that you wonderful writers have so much faith in me and so much interest in the story and are unfailing complimentary. I truly am humbled by so much lovely feedback.<BR/><BR/>I did wrestle with this decision all over the festive season and it caused me no end of concern because I know that it is unfair to you wonderful people who have tuned in regularly. But the people that I bared my soul to over this have strenuously advised me to take the book course as to reveal any more at this stage will take a big chunk of surprise away from the book. So, whist I am incredibly excited at the prospect of writing a book, and terrified at the same time, I feel that if I have a chance at writing something worthwhile, (ok never Booker prize standards but a nice doorstopper for the beach), then perhaps I need to follow this road. <BR/><BR/>I did come to a decision though and hopefully it will warm the cockles of your hearts. I was going to keep it a surprise until perhaps – and that is a big perhaps – I get the book published. I think that it is only fair that those of you who have been with me since the early days and have provided support, feedback, encouragement and on-line friendship and what essentially really amounts to being members my first writers group in a way, are going to be acknowledged in the book either by name or blog handle – whichever you prefer. I could never have even known that my writing could appeal to anyone other than a few pals that like what I do and without you all I would just be procrastinating over the ever elusive ‘perfect’ sentence, getting heartily sick over reading my prose over and over again until the words sound like crap and nonsensical dialogue that you begin to believe is just pretentious poop. So, dear maties, it is with my heartfelt thanks that I stumbled upon you all and that if you hadn’t been so generous in your feedback, I wouldn’t have the spirit of adventure that I have now whilst I get started on writing either the biggest dud of the year or something that might just make a few people laugh and cry. <BR/><BR/>I take on board comments such as retain my own voice and keep blogging. I intend to do both.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-75836238651786257982008-01-18T04:41:00.000+00:002008-01-18T04:41:00.000+00:00What a wonderful post and I can see that your even...What a wonderful post and I can see that your eventual book will be a success with your dry sense of humor. There is nothing like the humor of a menopausal woman getting over a bout of the flu. Do not get too confused with your pills again, although it doesn't seem to interfere with your ability to write amusingly. I hope you are a regular blogger, because I look forward to the next post.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-82617488452381887892008-01-17T19:19:00.000+00:002008-01-17T19:19:00.000+00:00Hmmm, lots of reactions to this.

Like Windy (giggling again!) and Aims I am gutted to have to wait to "hear" the rest of your story but obviously delighted that your unquestionable talent has been recognised. And then comes the BUT - I just don't want you to dilute your voice by "going by the book". That's what I love about reading your blog - your unique was of expressing yourself.....<BR/><BR/>Just an opinion...<BR/><BR/>Great to hear you are feeling better and sorry that in your ravaged state you managed to upset the HRT. My mum used HRT very successfully to manage her menopause and in all honesty her symptoms were nowhere near as extreme as yours. However, she did once stop taking it just to see if it was helping and she virtually ceased up!<BR/><BR/>Promise to keep blogging and give us the occasional tit bit??<BR/><BR/>Be back soon<BR/><BR/>MMOF XManic Mother Of Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181042998628457061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654568138065426769.post-37137956042329635132008-01-17T16:54:00.000+00:002008-01-17T16:54:00.000+00:00Well - good for you - and bad for us...sigh.
