Works in Progress (WIP)

 For the most part, cancer derailed me from writing, be it the next Sasha Jackson mystery, or blog posts, or pretty much anything else.

In the last 7 or 8 months, I've been very tentatively poking a bit at not one, but two writing ideas.  Both WIPs are in early, nascent  embryonic stages.  The working titles for the two projects are:

■  The Worst Thing About Cancer Is Other People (TWTACIOP)

and

■  Fall Down Seven Times, Stand Up Eight (FDSTSUE)

Both projects are nonfiction.  Both have to do with my cancer experience, but each comes at things from a different perspective.

TWTACIOP mainly focuses on how people around the cancer patient & people who have never had cancer inform the experience of the patient.  You'll shake your head and roll your eyes a lot.

FDSTSUE is about my cancer, ahem, "journey", plus all the things I experienced during my cancer, ahem, "journey."  It covers the good, the bad, and the ugly, much of it will surprise you.  A major theme is the shenanigans I endured via my employer, George Brown College, and the protracted dispute that dragged on during cancer.  You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl (nod to Wayne's World).

I have no idea when either of these will be completed, nor do I know which one will be finished first.  What I do know is that I have a lot to say.

P.S.  I am not working on any Sasha books at this time.  Even way back before cancer, I had the next two Sasha books (Odd Lang Syne & Home Sweet Homicide) underway.  I like both of these, and will finish them someday.  However, at present, I'm not inspired to write fiction.  So, back burner for now.

***** Whenever I eventually publish one or both of these books, I will provide all the details and supporting documents.
