One Wig Stand interview

Posted in Articles, Bumpboobs, Chemotherapy by

A few good things have come from using Twitter – and one of those good things is my introduction to a young woman who is the power behind One Wig Stand. Her blog connects with those who care about breast cancer – but it’s focused on the stories of Lebanese women in an effort to crush taboos. This is a good blog, and it’s worth checking out.

Now here is the flattering bit. She asked me for an interview. You know how third party compliments are the very best? “Jessica said the other day that she thought you are brilliant.” Well, another great compliment is being asked to interview for an inspirational blog.

Follow me on twitter

Phase two for my bumpyboobs  (Bet you didn’t know there was a phase one. Well there wasn’t I just like the term ‘phase two’, as though I’m really organized and have my life planned)  . . . Where was I? Right. Phase two for bumpyboobs:  Twitter.

Sometimes I can’t be asked to write an entire post, but shooting off a short comment is less intense.  So here we go, off to twitter land. My handle is bumpyboobs – do follow me if you are on twitter. I’ll follow you too. We can follow each other.  It’ll be a congo line gone circular.

Yay for brief statements about the weather, news, food, books, writing , random apartment occurrences, immigration and whatever else is on my mind! Plus notification of bumpyboobs postings (the best part).

Ok – now I need to go and work. By work, I mean read. And by read, I mean cruise the internet.  I’m trying to write a story set in the late 1920s and need some inspiration.

Bye!

Cooking a post

Posted in Bumpboobs, Life, Writing by

It’s true, sometimes I don’t write posts. But – (no worries, Lulu!) – sometimes I just like to take a break from this, that and the other. I’ve had a wonderful week so far, very refreshing and reassuring. If I can feel this good during chemo, then the future looks quite rosy. 🙂

However: I will post, I am to post, a post will be happening  . . . just needs one minute to cook.
