thanks for sharing. im glad the prognosis is good. also im excited to have been introduced to your writing in general, and glad you’ll keep writing.
re originality being overrated, a favorite quote of mine is from octavia butler:
“I'm trying to speak — to write — the truth. I'm trying to be clear. I'm not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them.“
Daniel, I go on Facebook about once a year just to get it out of the way and fulfill my yearly obligation to "stay current." I am so very grateful that I found you there, now, and read about your journey. I have such vivid and wonderful memories of our conversations about a thousand years ago. I wish you all the health and strength you have to come through the coming months and the many years ahead for you. Blessings - Patricia
Thanks for your very kind words! I really never had any idea that things I said in public about fighting cancer would mean much to people. I first started doing it because I was raising money for a charity and figured it would be a good way to grab people’s attention! I got a lot out of the kind things people said. I hope you’ll keep writing about your experience and that you recover well from treatment. It’s a damn battle.
That is such a cool shirt you’re wearing in the photo! Fingers crossed for good test results in the coming months.
rooting for you, all the best daniel!!
