I started my BiPolar memoir! And I have an agent interested in iy as soon as it's finished. So, I better get busy and finished it as quickly as possible.

On another note, I've been Full blown manic since last Tuesday. More than 10 days ago, I went to visit my mom, sisters, and brother in NV for 5 days. Then after that, I went to a writers conference for 5 days. Then after I came home I went manic and have been ever since.

I see my psych. today. I hope he has good news and can make some positive changes w/my meds. He's already made some changes. I e-mailed him immediately when I realized I was manic.

Love the modern age. I don't need to go in for an appt. I can reach him when ever I need to.. just send him an e-mail. :-)

But, back to the book.

I'm thrilled to be writing it, but it is digging into a past that I'm not sure I've completely come to grips with yet. We'll soon find out.

It's only a slice of what I call my Bipolar years. It's starting with right before I went into the hospital in 1998 and the year and 1/2 afterward to my recovery.

That's it.

Vicky knows that I am her #1 fan so I'll be in line for sure for this new book. Vicky, one thing that Sue Silverman said about memoirs is that they are a slice of life, not an entire lifetime, so it seems to me you are on an excellent path with the makings of a great memoir.

You know we're all behind you. Good luck with the doc and we're squeezing you tight with love!

Thanks, JJ....My #1 fan wouldn't let me down... :-) I appreciate all the support. I'm just writing from my heart... I didn't know I was doing it "right" or "wrong"... So am glad to know I picked the "right way"!!

Sue also pointed out there is no right or wrong way...there is YOUR way. So see? Your gut tells the story and that can only be right.

I can't wait Vicki, you put so much into your writing. But then, you don't need another plug! ha!
