Wow, Chatty....congrats! What a feeling of accomplishment it must be! We've joked about a boomer babe book but, you know, with all our experiences, I bet people would gobble it up. I, too, could tell a whole lot more in a book....after my Dad is gone...same reasons. I would not dare to go into some of my choices here on the board. How good would it feel to just let it all out in writing! But I digress...Chatty, what a great opportunity for you....can't wait to read it!

Congratulations, Chatty! Writing is so time consuming. Plus it isn't the easiest thing in the world to communicate what's in one's head and have the reader understand your exact intention. I'm so happy that you're being acknowledged. I'm not a big fan of ghost writing because of what's involved. Writing is good therapy but it's also a hard, hard job. By the way, I'm so far behind the rest of the boomers in their book club reading because I'm working on one manuscript, with another in the wings. And then there's the full time housekeeping thing. But I just started Elizabeth Gilbert's, "eat, pray, love." And now I'm embarrassed that I signed off so many of my posts with [Ciao for now]. I'm only up to "Bead 7" but at the end of Bead 6, Elizabeth writes, [I became one of those annoying people who always say CIAO.] Well, when my son married an Italian girl back in '85, I studied Italian. I have many self-teaching tapes and books and dictionaries. My books all say Ciao means a familiar Hi or goodbye. So I apologize, if I annoyed anybody! I do like this book and think Elizabeth's writing is extremely entertaining. Again, congrats! Prayers and blessings, bonnierose

Chatty, You warm my heart. Thanks for cheering me up! Yes, I can see how you would be left with an emptiness, after a ghost writing project. So, I'm so glad you're getting credit for all that hard work. Don't think I could make myself sign a confidentiality agreement. Anyone that writes a marketable product, should be honored for their ability. It's NO easy task! Prayers and blessings, bonnie rose

Bonnierose, I also felt sad when you mentioned that maybe you shouldn't be saying "Ciao...because why?? Because someone says they find it annoying???? Too bad, tough cookies....Saying "Ciao" was your trademark....I loved it!!! So there. And CIAO for now...
