WRITE A BOOK, THEY SAID, IT’LL BE FUN

January 17, 2019 by David Gillaspie

Long form writing is like a walk in the woods with no map. In the dark. With animal noises. And cliffs on both sides of the trail. If that isn’t a picture of adventure, what is? And all you need to do is sit down and write. And stay down. For a long […]

A PERSONAL PRIVATE LOVE STORY, PART TWO

January 2, 2019 by David Gillaspie

My biggest goal this year is getting my cancer memoir-70’s dating history-love story to a literary agent, to a publisher, to the book store in every airport with books for travelers who need something to avoid thinking about what could wrong on take off and landing and everything wrong where they’re headed. I’ve […]

AMAZON SEARCH FOR BITTER, ANGRY, PROFANE MEMOIR

December 28, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Amazon search is easy, like google, except you can buy the search results right away. Not so much on google prime. I’m not searching as much as researching the competition during editing breaks of my cancer memoir in the works, and happy to find great books on the topic, though not too many […]

HOW TO #FINISHCANCER TODAY, START AT THE RIGHT END OF THE PROBLEM

December 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Every cancer patient wants to hear the same thing from a doctor: “The treatment was a success. You’ve had a full response. We see no sign of cancer existing where it had been.” But getting to the finish line of cancer treatment reveals success and failure along the way. #FINISHCANCER today by […]

Dating Future: Medical Steps To Avoid Sex Cancer Without An Aversion

August 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The dating future may end up sounding like a job interview, or filling out a security clearance form. Vice came out with a post that ought to make it a necessity. Maybe is supposed to be funny, and I see the humor, but really? It’s not that funny, and I like […]

Health Writing? Start With Cancer And Drill Down

July 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Health writing is about bringing hope to the afflicted. Cancer writing, not so much. One is about the future and the steps to make it better. The other is layered with dread. One is about improving conditions, about personal bests, about gains; the other is layered with dread. Health writing brings nutrition, […]

Self Glossing Portland Writer Gives Cancer Warning

July 19, 2018 by David Gillaspie

“Warning? We don’t need no cancer warning,” said everyone who’s never followed directions even once. With cancer warnings around every corner, every speck of asbestos in the ceiling, breath of air, drink of water, it gets wearing to the point of being normal. More people with cancer? More young people? More millennials, […]

Dear Millennial Voters, All Of You, From Air And Water

July 13, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The future is closer than you think, and you, millennial voters, will have the final say on the future you want. Now the last thing you give two damns about is a rant from a flowing silver haired, mustachioed, Mark Twain wannabe blogger. I get it. But, sometimes people need a little […]
