Wow. First of all, its a long long ways from writing to sharing. I mean, we share small parts of our story when we write here in pc, but a book is different. You cant tell someone not to write a book. You cant tell someone TO write a book. Its like commanding them to run a marathon! Or to not. The point is the journey for the author or the runner, and how could anyone else insert themself in that process? If she would stop you from doing this, she is too involved in your life and decision-making, and maybe thats the bigger problem to begin with. Are you allowed to poop whenever you want, or do you have to ask her permission for that too? My mother had me constipated my entire life until she died. THEN my gut relaxed. Literally.
