But like everyone else said--I want to hear more--and if you jump on a bike somewhere in the first chapter, that might help, too.

I don't know how this connects to bike riding in anyway and it makes me scratch my head. That being said, lots of people are going to relate and be interested in your struggle through divorce.

It's the story that leads up to why I ride the physical bike and how I came up with the mental BIKE.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-48507830632721689502009-10-22T13:55:34.143-07:002009-10-22T13:55:34.143-07:00I especially like the idea of starting with the jo...I especially like the idea of starting with the journal entry -- like a shot fired into the void. <br /><br />But whatever you use to get going (and you can change your mind later), you have my attention and I do want to read more.

Having been through a divorce myself, that feeling that nothing would ever be the same, the sense of betrayal... everything is raw, powerful. Almost as if all of your senses are enhanced, yet numb at the same time. Glad that you shared this.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617441731660153119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-80192402076007692982009-10-20T18:36:23.574-07:002009-10-20T18:36:23.574-07:00Oh, Sheryl, I like that.

I'm glad I posted this. <br /><br />I think I have three chapters written, all of it comes from the journals I kept while going through my divorce. I have several dozen, enough to write a series of books, I think. <br /><br />I am anxious to begin work on this again. It's been so long!

It's going to be difficult to write this, even now. But that's a good thing. That means it'll be the story I want to tell, the one that will touch lives, I hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-6260395315113356662009-10-20T17:19:17.287-07:002009-10-20T17:19:17.287-07:00I want to hear more!I want to hear more!Jennifer Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568576650343979230noreply@blogger.com
