Okay, yes please to this book, Amy. Go get that book proposal done. This is excellent, vulnerable, moving writing. I am sending all of the best juju to you, Isabelle and Emily.
This is painfully beautiful bc you put us right there. Beautiful is a terrible word bc ofc it isn’t beautiful— but the way you write is beautiful.
There is no timeline for you to write. Take your time and write it as it comes. From what you’ve got here, you’ve got a story to tell and you’re doing wonderfully.
Amy. This was devastating and triggering and honest and gah. I have no words except keep going with your book. You are capturing it all so beautifully and brutally.
You’ve been along for the ride, Abby! My goodness, how my story has changed. The cancer is only a snippet. Looking forward to getting this to a point where you can work your magic!
Oof. Just oof. And I know how it feels when the writing just won't happen. Hope you're able to be gentle with yourself and know that even when you're not *literally* writing, you are still writing. xx
What a chilling excerpt, Amy. Beautifully written, but so terrifying. Just glad to know that your daughter made it through the treatment, even if the diagnosis had so many difficult ramifications for you and your family. ❤️
This is a heartbreaking with a wonderful ending. The thoughts, feeling, fears sadly abound - but so does the hope, health and triumph (since I know the ending).
Your writing is elite, Amy, especially when the story is heart/soul felt and ultimately triumphant!
I'm sure (or hope) your diving waters on the Cape are warming now.

Lisa! How are you?! Please tell Todd I miss him. Your comment keeps me going! xoxo
Todd? Perhaps you’re confusing me with someone else…At any rate you are a marvelous writer!
