book on the radio

I've thought periodically of writing my story, but then I read/hear books like this and think -- she just said what I would say! But I really enjoyed it, even as abridged as it was. I'm tempted to buy the book, I found http://www.peggyorenstein.com/articl...7_ticking.html on her website, it's an adaptation she did herself for Oprah magazine, it suggests that although heavily abridged, the radio version didn't lose her style - and it's that that is the interest, sure, she had a hard time, but things could have happened completely differently, she'd personally have had a different journey and it would still have been interesting. You should have a go at writing yours Jamie, I know the kind of stuff one posts on here isn't usually much of an indicator as how one might write a book, but there has been paragraphs here and there that you've written that have shown real flare, my memories are vague now, but I remember one about your feelings anxiously waiting during your donor IVF cycle, it's the way those feelings and emotions get described that make a book, not the actual happenings. I can hardly remember those times! LOL! But yes, I know what you mean. I know I write in far too factual a way to make it readable to many people, I do like to try and take multiple references and a subject that may be confusing and try and help people understand it, but a book full of that would boring. For several months now I've been trying to think how to put into words a very short article in favour of midwifery, kind of did you know it exists, did you know it's relevant to you etc. but so far I'm struggling - I really should at least put pen to paper so I can refine it, I know if I get it done it will get printed in a newsletter and I do want those 40 women to have something to think about. Cheers Anne Thanks for the compliments. : ) You should sit give your midwivery article a go. Don't try to write it right the first time, just get writing and see what comes up. Then you can do some editing and moving things around, perhaps lighten the tone, and you may find a perfectly good article in there, somewhere. If you wanted to send it to me for an edit, I'd be happy to help. I'm very good at editing people's work to help them get across what they want to say, how they want to say it, in their own style/voice. -- Jamie Clark |

I think you could help a lot of people telling your story. Debbie |
