Many of you have been coming to me with book dreams in hand, wanting to know my tips for how to get published.
I’ve posted quite a few resources here, but if you truly want to create a physical book that you can hold in your hands, here’s the one question you need to answer first:

I curled up in my favorite chair, paused Curb Your Enthusiasm (fun torture, for sure), and picked up my phone. That was hours – don’t know how many – ago. I found your blog, and we hung out for a while. I’m triple positive, port-ready, and in the heart of chemo – two left of six. Needless to say, I had a great time with you today.
I teach high school English and write. Well, no school for me right now, thanks to the one day I went back and caught a cold on chemo – which was really volcano snot, burning shits, high fever, and a six-week sinus infection from hell. Students are gross, and I’m not going back until after my surgery.
So, I just wanted to say thanks for blogging – I learned a lot and laughed a lot and decided you may be one of the coolest chicks on the planet. 💕
