I'm sure many will identify, if not as much with the sexual abuse I suffered, then with the emotions and insecurity I felt and still suffer from, though less, today.

There's plenty of lighter moments, even funny ones, in my tale. And those are being shared too. The book is, in the end, positive .. a true story with an almost fairy tale ending :))Vigabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759933133939472793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-18523614068333148582012-09-24T11:43:02.757-07:002012-09-24T11:43:02.757-07:00It's hard stuff to read and to write . . . wel...It's hard stuff to read and to write . . . well-written, evocative. I suggest that you mix the hard stuff in with either present tense safe times or times in the past that weren't occasions for abuse. That is at least what I do in my own writings. xoxoEl Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852928942787923550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-77469741953404024512012-09-24T08:18:37.413-07:002012-09-24T08:18:37.413-07:00Ah thanks so much Kim.

And now, you give me what I most need: support for my efforts here. REally appreciate that so much. This is so necessary when you're writing such a personal account. The questions are always there: how much is too much? what will make readers keep reading? what will turn them off? If they are victim/survivors too, will they identify and relate to my own story? Will what I write trigger memories they don't want to deal with ... etc etc. But in the end, I can really only write it as I feel it if I'm to be honest with myself and my readers. <br /><br />So, I thank you for your feedback Kim. I intend to share bits and pieces here from time to time but not all of it. I want it to be a book folks are wanting to read ... ALL of it LOL. Certainly don't want to put it all in my blog or some nefarious person will steal it and tell the world it's theirs!Vigabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759933133939472793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863985539323214850.post-44857524963387013502012-09-24T07:39:41.335-07:002012-09-24T07:39:41.335-07:00I think this is amazing!

Your thoughts & memories of details are what drew me in & made me want to keep reading. Can't wait to read more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194610468296383142noreply@blogger.com
