uR "Write about a woman who is dealing with a man in a MLC. Or switch it around to a man dealing with a woman. And then let your sense of humor loose."

I was going to write some facetious comment like "come on girls, we all know Jaye has absolutely no sense of humor" (didn't your H tell you that once?) but uR has got me thinking. And you COULD do this. 

You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself and could write a much better story than Laura Munson. No matter how much I loved her book, the truth is that her H had the shortest MLC in history, and she has NO idea how bad it can get. You, on the other hand, have actually lived thru the full spectrum. 

I'm no writer, but my suggestion is to not even think about it, just sit down and start. Don't think of 5,000 words or 50,000 words, just start. You can edit it all later to make it flow. Tell YOUR amazing, flabbergasting, unbelievable story. Maybe since your story is so unique, you'll have to disguise a lot of the facts. Maybe substitute. Portia will help there smile But for now, just start.
