Hi all!
here I am… booyah! I love meeting up with other poets, this is an awesome idea!
So, I am crazy, but I am going to a creativity conference tomorrow at the same time. I thought that it would be the perfect challenge to do them together… but I might be late on posting new pieces!
I’ve been wanting to create a collection about PCOS for a long time. I have it – Polycistic Ovary Syndrome – as do an estimated 5-10% of women. And it totally sucks! I’ve started a new lifestyle of owning it and being a “PCOS Diva.” Part of this change, I decided, would be that I should start writing about it.
So I want this to be the beginning of a collection about life with PCOS. I can see lots of things shooting off of this – life with diabetes, endocrinological problems, “women’s problems,”… I would love to create a collection and gather others for an anthology!
So if this sounds like you or someone you know, get in touch. I don’t have any definite plans yet, but I would love to start the ball rolling. (Look up “The Atelier Project” on Amazon to see a similar project of mine.)
So maybe I’ll make it, maybe I won’t, but yippee! really excited to be a part of this.
