The sensitive nature of No Kids Required created a knot in my belly that I was struggling to shake. All of my books are risky and filled with deeply personal details, but motherhood and choosing not to be a mother is an incredibly touchy subject.

I'm almost finished writing the book, so I sent the current draft to the participants with a few additional questions I needed to complete the story.

This is the first response I received;

"I have started to read this and simply cannot stop. I have not completed the reading but will do so and also answer your additional questions and do have something in mind to write for you to include as requested.

What I can say so far is that this is your best piece yet!!! This is so amazing, so heartfelt, passionate and real and full of compassion. This is going to help EVERY MOTHER and/or NON-MOTHER in the WORLD!!! This is truly exceptional Jenn!!! I am so very proud of you for sharing your story in this piece and am once again, inspired and so empowered by you!!! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!!!"

I'm definitely feeling better about it now!
