You Should Write a Book

Always thank those responsible. My thanks to all those who've read my 9 Lives Blog and may I say also there's been hundreds of you. Over 900 and still counting from around the world. I invested nothing in advertising my blog but the major search engines found me anyway.

In the last 6 years people I've met have heard my Stroke Story and with enthusiasm told me to write a book. So of course I didn't but I did write a blog. It seemed to be the easiest way to test the waters and see if I could actually write a story and have it make sense. Beyond that would anyone read it? Apparently you do!

The point of my blog was never to tell a gut wrenching story so you'd know what I when through but how I overcame challenges to get healthy again. The story passes on to the reader important knowledge that stroke survivors and their caregivers can use and modify to help themselves.

People have written me to tell me how much they've enjoy my blog and how it's helped. Questions have been asked and I've tried my best to answer. I'm not a doctor or a therapist but I'm a expert Stroke Survivor which there's no university course for that I'm aware of.

To help even more people it looks like I'm finally going to have to spend some money. Hopefully by this summer my blog now turned into a book will be on the market. In the meantime I'm taking most of the story down off the blogsite.

Any of you with questions please write me. I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible. I will let everyone know when they can get a copy of the book.

Again Thanks

Jim Pettitt
