Yes, it is lots of work, most of it joyful, and very gratifying to know that my writing, that our stories, reach out to others and affect them somehow. I wish we had had a chance to connect at the SCN conference too, and I appreciate your note.

Kudos to you! Your beautiful writing in Don't Call Me Mother was powerful. I know this book will be, too. I hope it finds many readers. We met at the Journal Conference in Denver, and again through Story Circle Network's conferences, including the wonderful event just last weekend in Austin. I didn't get a chance to thank you for presenting an inspiring and useful workshop. So…thank you. I'm sincerely appreciative of that experience. Your willingness to share yourself, and to offer support and information, was something I especially appreciated. So, again, congratulations on finding the publisher you deserve.

]]> Comment on Ghost Mothers: How to Heal Abandonment and Neglect, and Find Forgiveness by Elizabeth http://memoriesandmemoirs.com/2009/03/ghost-mothers-how-to-heal-abandonment-and-neglect-and-find-forgiveness-2/comment-page-1/#comment-50 Elizabeth Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:33:18 +0000 http://memoriesandmemoirs.net/?p=1011#comment-50 I have started writing a memoir. I am thinking about trying to get published, but I worry about some of the details, like: other people in my story; this is MY sroty, but my brothers grew up with me and they are very private and might not like to become indirectly involved. I am afraid to talk to them about it because of some hurts that would come up. I am not writing much about them, but they are my brothers and would likely be somehow affected if I published my memoir. How do you deal with that as a writer? What are the rules?
