I was speaking to one of my associations today who is part of a local community house in my town of Eaglehawk and I spoke to her about the suggestion that someone gave me about writing a book about my battle with cancer.

She thought it was a great idea and suggested a few ways how I can get published if I wish to go down that road.

I am now really considering the idea of being published.

I am going to do some research on grants which relates to my particular project and if all goes well I should have a published book by the end of the year.

I know it will be a long road to be accepted for a grant but I have been informed by my contact that in regards to grants for literature I should have no problems that my idea for a book is of a health related matter and she knows that some of the grants for literature are only to be used for health related books.

In regards to me writing about my cancer scare here on DA...

I'll still be writing my piece but it will be an abridged version which will contain only snippets of the actual piece.

If you were to want to read the entire piece then you'd have to ask to purchase the book when it is published.
