I’ve been chugging along on my book, writing chapter after chapter. For now, rather than doing it in a linear fashion, I’ve been choosing topics and writing them start to finish. Late on they can be edited either as is, or be brought together into a more traditional structure. I’m very much enjoying it, but I have to admit that I’d be mortified to have anyone read it! I’ve been completely open and honest, and told many stories completely for the first time, so it’s going to take some bravery to actually release it (to say nothing of having to OK the personal stories that include other people’s secrets).
So far I’ve got most of the story told up to about January ’97, and fragments up to 2000. So I suppose I’ve got it 1/4 on paper so far, if that. I have no idea if my stories will be interesting to other people, but getting it all down reminds me of how nutty and fun my life has been.

Aww.
I’d read it.
I think that if you publish it, people will read it.
Personally, I enjoy your writing style and from reading old entries I’m sure that your bio would be an interesting read to say the least.
I’m sure it would be one hell of a read!
Agreed with Corvin, always appreciated your writing style
I agree with Corvin and Juanki, would love to read your memoirs, Shannon.
I’d read it for sure!
On the quote, while the 12 steps are great and anyone, absolutely anyone could use them to their advantage, the platitudes MADE me sick. :P
That said, it works if you work it. *snerk*
Of course your autobiography would be a great read and very well received.
Your writing is unfailingly interesting to read and I’m sure your autobiography will be absolutely fascinating. I can’t wait to read it!
i’d read it.
Glad to hear you are chugging along on this thing- it’s a hell of endeavor, and I’m excited to read it!
I’d read it. I’d probably buy several as gifts to those of us here in New Zealand who left IAM when you were kicked out. I’d also probably buy one to donate to the university library here in Palmerston North. It would definitely be a milestone publication in the history of contemporary body modification. An extremely important document even :)
id read it, then make photocopies for my friends.
j/k
keep it up!
I’d read it, too!
I think your book would be (is gonna be?) way more interesting than most of the stuff out there, what with you having an insider/creator’s perspective on it.
write it
publish it
forget it
I’m looking forward to reading it, especially to proof any lurid details of me :)
I’d buy/read it for sure!
Can’t wait to read your book
Although, I might be “leary” of some things you might say regarding me, I doubt any of my family members would ever come across it, so I’d be essentially ok with you revealing most things, as long as you talk about your life as it happened in reality, not as it could have happened. ;)
