Well I'm finally writing the book I've wanted to write for over 10 years! I have my outline and preface done!

This is a book about the truths of breastfeeding, I'm taking from a humorous light hearted approach, while knowing it's not all funny and light, but not technical with a bunch of "experts" and footnotes etc. Rather the actualities that we face as breatfeeding moms, and those who were not able to breastfeed for various reasons.

I am looking for short stories about real life experinces "behind the breast"...so if you'd like to submit your stories please e-mail me
kim@selfindulgence.biz and I'll send you over the release and outline of topics, you can choose which one(s) you'd like to offer input with. Also included will be a short list of criteria for the stories. I am looking for stories from currently feeding moms and older moms as well as any one else who has opinions on why they did not nurse or could not nurse.

Thanks for your help, I am very excited about this and look forward to reading and sharing many stories

Kym,
I'd like to submit something, I nursed the twins for about 2 months, so I wasn't all that successful, but there are a few other factors I dealt with (besides multiples). I will try to get my thoughts together and email you, I've been insanely busy, but things may calm down tomorrow. BTW... kudos to you... writing a book is a dream of mine, glad to see you are starting yours!!!

Kym, I emailed you.

Thanks Karen, I just responded to you.

Crystal, I'll look forward to getting an e-mail from you so I can send you a couple things, may help get you going. My mom always said a woman is not complete until she mothers a child, plants a garden and writes a book. I have done the first two and this book has been w/ me for over 10 years nagging at me, so I'm giving it a go!~

Anyone else out there who wants to share please do!
