I find that I need about a decade's distance from most of the experiences that have wound up in my books. Sometimes more. The passage of time gives me much-needed perspective so that I can write about the emotions and aspects with a bit more nuance, instead of being weighted down by my personal reactions.

After having given us all that you have, it's time for you to receive from your devotees. You must take care of yourself like a foundling on the doorstep. Have a real vacation, long and luxurious! Please wear a medical bracelet. Ask your friends to write to you, no begging allowed, as in; hurry-up-with-the-next-book-already! I will send you prayers and healing light. Please receive them. You are so beloved. Our national treasure. Take a lot of time for yourself. I wish you perfect health. Gillian I wish that there were something I could do for you!

I am a new reader of your books and you are really an inspiration to young girls. You really seem to have it all: a wonderful career, family, and the support of your fans. I hope you continue to feel better and wish you the best. It’s amazing how you can still keep your sense of humor in the face of adversity.

I am a full time worker going to grad school full time and I don't think I could do half of the things you manage to do! Kudos to you! I was wondering if you think you will ever write a, fiction or nonfiction, book about Addison's disease? Do you think you will use this experience in your life in order to writer a novel about the disease itself, a character that has just been diagnosed with it, or about several different characters that may not necessarily be diagnosed with it, but are affected by it through a family member or friend? Laurie,

Just wanted to tell you I used your "Go forth laughing and disturb the universe" as a key to a family Christmas present. I put into an album that quote and all photos I could find of relatives laughing, having fun, enjoying life, playing. Everyone loved it. Thank you for the inspiration. I know that sentence was at the end of one of your presentations. Was it the one from the floor, I wonder? Bless you for your wisdom and fortitude. So glad you got a helpful diagnosis!
