Yes, now is the time, or there will be no time. Breast cancer was my motivation to get the book done. I did not want to be on the death bed wishing I had written that book. But fear is a motivating factor as well; motivating us to talk our minds out of something our hearts inspire us to do! Kelly, has the fear factor been addressed by any of the 100 writers? What are the fears? How did they overcome them? Fear is a waste of time, so perhaps the subject of fear fits into the Time to Write concept (well, more than a concept.) Oh, sorry so long, but the author of Seabiscuit has extreme chronic fatique. Did you notice that she did very few interviews, and when she did they were from her home? I hope your friend, JJ, is able to conquer and bring her dream to fruition.
