Walk away from my laptop. It's a good practice to 'jot down a note' when I get ideas, then I can come back and read my notes which triggers ideas.

Well, I'm not sure I'd call myself a 'writer' ... actually, a professional book reviewer said something to the effect that my book could have 'used a bit more editing' ... but, they also said I was a good 'story teller' ... and I can live with being able to 'tell my story.'

Just get something down. It doesn't have to be 'in order' ... when you have a thought or idea, get it written down. You can either put all your ideas together in book form yourself, or you can get the help of someone else to get your thoughts into book form.

I haven't started writing yet, but I have an idea for a children's book based on the conversation I had with my grandson explaining 'transgender' to him.

With the release of Alana's book we attended the 2012 Southern Comfort Conference. I was invited to attend the 'spouses' meeting. I was the ONLY WIFE in the room who could openly talk about their transgender spouse.
The common concern with all the other wives was not having someone to talk to about their experiences. So, I decided to share my experiences, which could serve as a resource ... not only for other wives of transfemales, but also as a resource for non-transgender persons who have an interest in learning more ... and as a resource for therapists, etc.

My spouse, Alana Nicole Sholar, released her memoir, "Hung in the Middle: A Journey of Gender Discovery" in 2012 about being born transgender in Kentucky in the 1960's ... a time and place where no one even knew the word 'transgender.' (read Chapter 1 at www.hunginthemiddle.com).
I figured if Alana could share her experiences, then I should tell 'my side of our story'
