I don't know if I have a lot to share per se. My fear had always been that writing about it will devolve to whining about it. But hey, if anything, it's be like shouting out a canyon or whatever those yoga experts suggest doing to de-stress. I wouldn't know. I'm afraid of heights. LOL
Well the challenge here is not use any of your current projects and start new from Day one. I'm tempted to revisit my unfinished fanfic but I think in this case, starting fresh might be good to get that inital burst.
Like that new car smell. What would new fic smell like? Chocolate? LOL
Oh, I wasn't thinking of a current project that has actually had any *writing* done on it...I've got a whole collection of 'stuff I wanna write when I get time'. The one I kinda-sorta-maybe-am-thinking-about-if-I-do-it is basically just a concept. All that's written is a couple paragraphs generally describing the idea. I think going in with a vague general idea of what you're going to do is actually encouraged!
I agree with DJ - that sounds like an amazing, very healthy, and proactive (and, very brave) thing to undertake.
If you do get it all down on paper, I hope it helps you ... and if you decide to share it, I am sure it would help other people as well. We all have a lot to learn from you ;-).
-shrugs- Who knows? The times I was in the hospital, people kept saying "you should write a book about this" but other than wondering what music soundtrack would be playing, I hadn't given it much thought. LOL
I've tried two previous years, but failed miserably. Third time lucky? I think your idea to write about all that has been happening in your life is really good. I definitely like to read what you write.

So far, I'm worried it's going to be more Hunter Thompson that anything else. I frankly didn't remember much my stay then pre-surgery, then in the ICU. They had me in an induced coma so there were a lot of dancing elephants and kareoking Stargates, I'm afraid. LOL.
If it has the potential to be cathartic and therapeutic, do it. If it devolves into whining at times, that's just fine. Wallow in the whine and then move on. I'm sure it would be a good personal exercise in seeing where you've been, all you've been through, and the possibilities of where you want to go. Sometimes you need to make that journey in writing to get perspective.

I really should- I've got so many writing projects piled up- it would feel so good to get something moving.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I don't expect to write a great novel. Just to finish one.
