Thank you for sharing this with us because I was this close— to giving up! But somebody out there needs to hear from me my story. I’m the only one who can tell it properly because I’m the only one who’s been there from the beginning until the present moment and every single day in between; both good and bad. Both painful and precious; both terrible and terrific and the list goes on and on for miles at a stretch but I would rather put it in story form that I know can reach the one who is thinking about ending it all. The one who thinks it can’t be any worse and it doesn’t get better. This is why I am a writer and that is my target audience. I am also created to turn words into pictures that people can see and feel like they’re in a movie theater with me, experiencing the same thing that I did, do or have. Thank you for reminding me of my purpose as a writer.

Thank you Dana. Yes, we must share our stories. We are all unique but also relatable. I’m glad Jeff’s advice resonated with you. I look forward to
reading yours.
