To write a book

 When writing about an almost universal experience, is that nobody's experience is the same. 

And you have to find an angle.

And work out what's going to be for the best. 

And why am I wanting to write about menopause anyway? 

Actually, that's the easy question. I want to write about menopause because it can feel like the most isolating experience in the world where you don't know if you're going mad, you feel like crap and everything you thought you knew has been taken away from you. 

There's a lot to write about. 

Also, I'm not a doctor or allied health practitioner. I cannot 

So, I've got thinking - my experience is just one experience. 

And everybody is different. 

Questions like:

  • When did you start the change? 
  • How did you feel about it? 
  • What surprised you about it? 
  • Did you talk to anybody about it? 
  • Have you talked to any medical or allied health professionals?
  • How did you find perimenopause? 
  • What do you wish you knew about before this started? 
  • Have you talked to your family about this?
  • What is the worst thing that happened/is happening to you?
  • What's worked for you? 
  • Any funny stories?
  • Are there any good sides to this? 
  • What would be your advice to women starting on their menopause journey? 
  • What are your non-negotiables?
  • If you were to go through this again, what would you do differently? 
  • What bit of knowledge would 

And something that goes from being a little project gets soooooo much bigger. 

Also, if you'd like to be part of this project, get in touch with me. I'd love to have a chat. I can see my darling cousins, the ones I sit around family reunions with, talking about HRT/MRT patch strengths. 

It's a big subject. 

Best get researching. 

Best get writing.
