What I Hope To Accomplish With This Blog

I hope to post at least once a week, and I want to post both new and old things I've written or have yet to write. There's probably not going to be much of an order to these posts; no chronological timeline for me! I write bits and pieces all the time, somewhat memoir-ish, but they often skip from one year to another, so working chronologically just wouldn't make sense. Plus, I remember certain things better than others - you can blame chemo brain and multiple heavy-duty drugs! I also just like writing based on what I feel right now, and sometimes that corresponds with something that happened four years ago, and other times it corresponds with something that happened yesterday. Sometimes I even like to be somewhat normal and write about my day, or my plans for the future. It's true, I do have normal moments! But I do hope to have a post up soon that will give a rough timeline of everything I've been through - and I'm using the word "everything" very loosely here.
Mostly, the posts will be snippets of things I've experienced, and things I've learned. There are many, many stories, some amusing, some upsetting, and some uplifting. I tell them to my friends all the time, and I finally feel like I really need to write them down. They may not always be happy stories, but they are my stories.
