Poll: Should I Write a Book?

[sandmansister]

I have been debating this for weeks and months. I feel like I have stuff to say about the whole cancer thing. It's like I'm in this weird no man's land because I did have it relatively easy, but it was still cancer. I'm still learning to cope, and almost all the resources I see are targeted at folks who had more serious forms. But there are emotions and stresses and sometimes I feel utterly unequal to the coping. It's too easy to diminish my experience because I was mostly functional, but I still had cancer. I can't be the only one experiencing a weird cocktail of feeling marginalized, blessed, terrified, surprised, loved, and thankful.

I haven't written since I started writing training material for a living. It seems too much like work. My life circumstances don't necessarily allow for cultivation of plot bunnies. I haven't felt the need to write (beyond my occasional blatherings here) in years and years. But this? My story stirs in me.
