Self publish. Amazon.com.....Sundanceh said:Pepe
Just for you....an excerpt from The Foreword.
"I’m not going to focus on the medicinal element or treatment plans that pertain to my cancer as this would limit the audience that I am talking to. And, treatments and protocols are always changing and the information would eventually be outdated and perhaps of no value.
Instead, the direction of the book will focus on the “Human Aspects” of Cancer, because all of the topics outlined in the chapters apply universally to all of us and are the feelings and emotions that are consistent with what each of one of us will experience."
I'm giving myself a floating target of about 4-6 months to complete the writing. I'm working full time again, so will have to write in my spare time so it will take a little bit longer.
Let's hope that when this is done, that we can find a publishing house and make this thing happen. What a thrill it would be for all of us!

A new area called 'CreateSpace'....check it out...they are publishing my 'Bald Lady' book....
You get as much or as little help as you want. They will sell both electronic and hard version...and take a cut...BUT YOU retain the rights, so if it sells BIG, and goes to a 'traditional' house, you get all the ownership...

tape recorder
Craig,
Get a tape recorder for all of those thoughts, especially if you cant type as fast as those thoughts come, then you can just speak your mind and put it to words on your own time...
As for publishing, i think I may know a few people, I will be working on that end if its okay.
Love ya
HUGS

"Feel Good Moment"
For Father's Day, I gave my dad Chapter I "The Diagnosis" for his present. I asked him to read it and then let me know what he thought.
I got my reply back today. I was pleasantly shocked with his reply. If I'm being truthful, then the tears welled up in my eyes.
"Why is that, Craig?"
Well, it's because he used the words "Outstanding", "Superb Effort", and "Atta Boy."
"Why is that so significant?"
Because, my dad has always been my harshest critic and always very hard on me. He was not the kind of nurturing and supportive father that I needed when I was growing up. He never really believed in me or thought I would amount to anything.
So for my dad to tell me those words and that we was ready for Chapter 2, well it just got to me. I could almost sense "pride" in his words. It made me think if my dad likes what he read, then I know I must be onto something good here.
Maybe we can "Blow the Doors to the Literary World Right off its Hinges!"
I'm starting Chapter 7 now and nearly at the 1/2 way point of the book and we just started this month.
I feel good about it - covering some tough topics of course and "re-living" the experience. I'm throwing every thought and phrase I can think of. Having to write chapters from scratch.
I'm finding that this book is taking me along an entirely new journey concurrently with my cancer journey.
Gotta' go - time to go "kick some more @ss and take some more names" LOL!

Craig, my dad was strict as you-know-what. I was scared of him all thru high school. It hurt, but i knew he was stressed with his job, and that he really wanted to raise good kids...just it was a little over-kill. I think a lot of men back then were that way. Glad your dad can express himself now with more love. It was probably there all along.0 -

So great to hear that your most important critic is pleased with the "work in progress". No matter how old we get, it feels good to know that something we have accomplished is important to our parents. Keep up the good work.

One is enuff...we can read it...really.
