<Just write the best book you can.> Thanks, Meredith. That's really what it gets down to, isn't it?

<<I'm writing about my past experience with cancer. It's not a pretty picture, and I hope no one would expect it to be.>> Oh, I'm so sorry. I hope that you're feeling much better now. Good for you to write about it! You can help hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people that way.

My first book was all about my experience with total hip replacement. I was hit by a drunk driver when I was 28 and sustained multiple injuries. 20 years later my hip joint collapsed on me and I required the replacement. I wrote all about it in my book GETTING HIP. It's really nice to share our first-hand knowledge about an illness with others who were going through it. Doctors write from a completely different perspective.

Good luck with your book! Sigrid
