An Idea I’m Tossing Around

One of the things I’ve long considered is finding a way to provide space for folks who want to tell their story of being a survivor, but who don’t want to go to all the trouble of creating their own site, or keeping up with a blog. It was right up there in my thoughts with creating a separate blog to keep the various reviews and recommendations, which I recently did.

The question is, how much of an interest is there in doing this sort of thing? Are you, or are people you know, interesting in contributing in this way, by sharing your story, or part of your story, on a one time basis?

Let me know if you think it has some merit and how you’d like to see it develop, and I’ll get to work on it. Also, if you’re interested in posting book reviews, or sharing other helpful resources on that Survivor News and Reviews blog, let me know and I’ll get you hooked up to post there!

  • Taking the Network Offline

    I had been toying with the notion that the Survivor’s Network, in it’s new form, just wasn’t working for anyone. Recently, I was contacted by someone rather upset that their real name was attached to their account there, and thus was being indexed by Google, asking me to remove them. I took advantage of that…

    I got the first check from the CafePress store in the mail yesterday. It was for $26.30, which, when combined with the $14-15 I’ve got coming from the Amazon links at the end of the year will make a nice little donation to Prevent Child Abuse. Of note, yes I have decided to go ahead…

  1. i write a lot on my blog about my childhood and it’s abuse and sadness. it’s something i continue to process through writing (after four years of intensive therapy and work in my early twenties)
    lots of great information on your page here.

  2. Maggie, I think you make a good point, it’s so easy to create your own blog and writing is an ongoing process, so I don’t know how many people would want to write a one-time piece about their journey when they could have their own site!
