But forget that. Now you are going to be sorry that you mentioned writing that book because I am going to be hounding you. LOL!
And not because your h thinks you can. You have a gift, Jay. A wonderful way with words. Do not squander it. I wish I had it.
I love your sense of humor. As far as Im concerned there is no inappropriate place for it.
This is a perfect GAL and it's for you and it costs nothing.
Jay, do it. Come on. Just put the words down. Flesh it out. Dont you dare let him read it until it's finished. Picture a 5 foot woman.....well, you get the picture.
I am only buying your book if you promise to autograph it!
Here's to inappropriate humour. I clicked on your thread and the first sentence I read right at the top is uR saying something about stool. I thought I better go back a page. Now an intelligent person would have gone to the top of the page and started reading but don't go accusing me of being intelligent at this time of night. What do I read first? Something about husband and a stool. Well this is interesting.....
I skim a little further up and what do I read? Something about 50 shades of Gray and how your H thought you always had loads of talent in that area.
Now that I have read the page properly, I see he was referring to your writing talent. So obviously you can do the writing and I will supply the imagination
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 But for now, just start.

PORTIA!! Lol! Probably should have had a camera on your face as you sorted out the H - stool - 50 Shades connection Too funny my friend!
Hi uR & H2 ~ join in if you dare lol.
RL,
yes, "no sense of humor" is often repeated.
Regarding Laura Munson, I've only just started her book and I'm not liking her. Not what its about, I know, but she's irritating me to no end. From what I can gather her life and her M are all fairly charmed - even through MLC. And well, that irks me lol.
I was briefly pondering a story wherein a philandering H was killed by the wife... who successfully framed the OW for it
I wonder how many words I've put into this site? Done in fits and starts it doesn't seem such a challenge.
I'd hesitate to write anything autobiographical, even with changes, because the kids would be reading it.
H is still mad at his job. Sigh. I get the feeling he's looking for any excuse to make a change - in job, in address etc. Oh well. Not my problem to fix. And who needs electricity and food in the same month anyway?
Maybe reading Laura Munson will charm me too.
Thank you all for stopping by and being so kind (and silly - you know who you are!)
Take care!!

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
Affirmation for the day from Dr. Wayne Dyer's site
I release the need to determine how things "should" be.
If you are suffering in your life right now, I guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kind of attachment to how you think things should be going.
