Remember when you started this blog and yo...Libby,<br /><br />Remember when you started this blog and you had no idea where it would lead that was scary then but look how many followers and lives you have been a part of. I can't imagine where a book would lead. <br /><br />The bad stuff is hard to write but life is hard and others need to know that they are not alone in there feelings the good, bad, and ugly. So many people only tell the good stuff but it's the real stuff that changes peoples lives. <br /><br />Best of luck in your decision and your writting don't pressure yourself--enjoy the process.<br /><br />StephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-43919800389931491232012-01-11T17:57:51.555-08:002012-01-11T17:57:51.555-08:00Girl, you do have something to say.

Maya Angelou has a great quote - "You must do the thing you think you cannot do"...I know you think you can't do this, but I bet you also thought you couldn't bear cancer, move to a new city, make a pile of new friends, and learn to knit...it's all about one stitch at a time. I'll be first in line to buy one - and give them to all the people I have come to love who are in various stages of cancer or recovery and the people who love them. Your story of suffering from cancer is shared by millions, yes...but your voice is not - it is unique, honest, and beautiful. Go for it.

I came upon your story about a year ago, but I went back and read every word of every post you'd ever written. Not once did I think you were selfish. I remember thinking over and over, "how amazing is she, that throughout all of this, she really lays it all down and relies on God.."It's an amazing and touching testimony, and I feel certain that your book will bring lots of good things to many people, people looking for inspiration fighting the fight you fought, or maybe, just plain old inspiration to make it through the day and put it all in perspective.<br /><br />You are already a wonderful author, and I can't wait to read the finished product! <br /><br />God Bless you and your beautiful family.Babygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656715773446704828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-77480253316051907542012-01-11T12:26:55.357-08:002012-01-11T12:26:55.357-08:00lib. i love it. i will read it and will share it w...lib. i love it. i will read it and will share it with a million others. please, please, please write this book. your story is His story and therefore it's already a success.

It won't be easy but all it takes is committing a little time each day and before you know it, you have a book. I believe in you Libby! I would love to read your story. And so many who are struggling with cancer would read it and find it encouraging.

I am reading the book ...Libby that is so so great! <br />I am reading the book 1,000 Gifts right now and am thinking about you a lot. <br />I love this quote:<br />"Where is grace bestowed when cancer gnaws and loneliness aches and nameless places in us soundlessly die, break off without reason, erode away. Were hides this joy of the Lord, this God who fills the earth with good things, and how do I fully live when life is full of hurt?"<br /><br />I can't wait to read your book Libby because you fully lived and experienced the joy of the Lord through cancer and that is something of great worth that deserves to be shared.Stephanie Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183756068649933052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-67533349924934923422012-01-11T11:28:34.536-08:002012-01-11T11:28:34.536-08:00Wow!

You are, you know. An author a...Dear Author Libby,<br /><br />You are, you know. An author already. A good author. Lots of people have been blessed, entertained, encouraged, led to tears, and even surprised by your words, not just your Mom. (But I WILL be the first to read it!) <br /><br />And you watched me struggle for 2 years writing a book and so you know it can be done. Even by a novice like me. (Or, were you so self-focused that you never noticed? I doubt it.) And after it is completed you will say, "What was the big deal?" :)<br /><br />Do not look at the task in its entirety, just the first step. Finish that and then look at the next step. If you come to a step that is overwhelming or drudgery, set it aside til later. I put off my Acknowledgements page for months. First TIP-Keep a running list of people you will want to acknowledge, cause that will make your job so much easier later...I did not do this and really regretted it later.)<br /><br />Then let the pros deal with editing, line-editing, layout, photography, art, marketing, etc. You do not have to worry about everything. Just be faithful in your part and others will fill in the rest. And we will pray the God's work will be done, in His time, and in His way. And yes, it is worth it, even if Ava and I are your only readers! <br /><br />I love you, Libby.<br /><br />Momkristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163432522159400561noreply@blogger.com
