Question of the Day:

"If you were to be paid to write a new book on any subject you wished, what would it be about?"

I would write a book on our miscarriage experience.

I feel like so many people don't understand that the hurt is real and deep and long lasting. I feel like everyone thinks since we had Mari a little after our first year anniversary we had an easy path to parenthood. And while they are right and we are extremely blessed with our fertility, I feel like the pain and agony of losing our first child is swept away. I also think that if you have a miscarriage before you 18th week of pregnancy people don't think of it as a big deal because, "It happens all the time".

Definitely this. Or I would compile my "short stories" (essentially my blog posts) into a book of some sort. I dream of doing something like this, but there is such a minuscule market for short stories.
