Last chance to share your words about your heart condition and FRIENDS & FAMILY

I have been blogging away so busily this month, writing posts around this month's zine theme, which is Friends & Family. It's made me realise there are so many facets to this topic and I would love to hear from a few more people so I can cover as many angles as possible when I put the zine together at the end of the month.

I would love if you could visit the blog and see if any of the posts spark an idea in you. Leave your thoughts on the post "A haiku or two: Friends & Family" in the form of a haiku (full details in post, but basically 17 syllables) or any short form you fancy. I will be putting the zine together over the weekend, so time is short! You can also read the pieces already submitted at the end of that post.

Usually the zine is reserved for contributions from people who have first-hand experience of living with a heart condition. This month we would also love to hear from the friends and family of those people. I know quite a few folks on this forum are looking after or worried about a loved one, rather than living with a heart condition themselves. If this is you, we'd love to hear your thoughts this time.

You can find the blog here - heartytales.co.uk

Thanks, everyone :)

Looks like just you, me & David, with the odd one from others. And I thought this would be the most interesting of the options!

I know! I think there's so much more to be said on this topic, but there we go. Plenty to fill the zine, I just hate missing out on other people's probably very interesting thoughts.
