Alright friends, here’s where I need your help! As I draw near to the time to edit this novel, I find myself in need of some source materials. I do a bit of planning and a lot of pantsing for first drafts. I research on the way, but mostly make notes of large holes in my knowledge to fill in later. Which is where I am now.
If you know of any good writing (fiction or non-fiction), films, sites, or are willing to share your own experience either in the comments or through a private e-mail, it would be much appreciated.
Topics I’m looking for information on (particularly on a personal level):
-rape
-gay/lesbian experiences (especially coming out stories)
-teaching abroad experiences
-military (being a part of, process, recruitment, basic training)
-cancer (particularly breast cancer and/or the experiences of loved ones in the family, not just the sick person)
-archeology/anthropology (as a profession or relating to the study of, such as in a university experience)
Any and all help would be appreciated!!
My work’s website may be of help for cancer:

There’s types of cancer, treatments, and patient resources that may help!
Thanks Leisa! I totally should have thought of that on my own!
I think I can help! My mom had breast cancer a few years back, so I’m a bit of an expert of a personal and scientific level! I can answer questions here or you can email me at: oliviasopinions [at] hotmail [dot] com. π
This is probably way more in depth than you wanted, but here’s a link to the blog I wrote while I was teaching English in South Korea:

It’s in reverse chronological order, so you might want to click back to 2010 and start there π
Thanks so much!!
shoot me a text whenever π or coffee!
