Sharing your MS
In this report, we have gathered what we have learned from thousands of posts, about how to share one’s MS with yourself, with others and with the world.
It’s a quick read, yet you may want to study it for hours.
Use it for yourself, share it with others, or save it for that moment when you will inevitably hear of someone else who needs it.
It’s part news… part psychology… and like any good how-to guide, part workbook.
It’s a .pdf file that you can print out, or read online, and it has a fun-to-read introduction letter about how the report came to be, written by yours truly.
