Write, Write, Write a Book, Lose your Sanity...

Hi Guys!
It's coming close.. It's 3 days until NaNoWriMo month! I don't know if I really have my perfect idea, but I am trying to work with my day to day life. The starting title for this year is going to be "Our Souls Are Worn, But We Are Not Broken". Obviously, there is likely no way I'll stick with it, but for now, this is what I've got.

I'm planning on this story being a nonfiction story, but all parties' stories will not have their correct names in it, and there will be a few pieces of fiction in it. I am going to recount some of the fun stories I have been told by my patients, AKA the people I talk to as a pharmacy  tech. Of course, that's why there will be no personal information in it for those people, but I want to give the world a perspective on the fact that those who take lots of medication, especially those who elderly, are not broken. I have heard so many sad stories of the elderly being alone, or of them being treated as if they aren't even there, in spite of the fact that they are completely mentally cognizant. I've also heard hilarious stories that involve these people confusing the younger generation, especially the doctors and nurses who work with them.

I want to give a voice to those who are often treated like they are already gone before they are actually gone. I know many people who make jokes about "old people", and I'll admit that I'm as guilty as anyone else, but just because they're are elders doesn't mean we should treat them any differently that anyone else.

Any thoughts on my book idea? I feel so lucky to be able to tell you guys, and now I'm going to rush to set up my new NaNoWriMo account for this year.

Later guys!
