Writers talk a lot about the “Book of My Heart”: the story that feels deeply personal, the one you carry close.But there’s another book, too.The F***-It Book.The book where you stop worrying about what’s expected, or tidy, or “on-brand.”The book where you choose joy anyway.Or choose whatever you need to write because you’re ready to.Sometimes the F***-It Book and the Book of My Heart are the same book.Sometimes they overlap.Sometimes they’re cousins who share snacks and chaos energy.I don’t know the

In this episode, I open up and look back about navigating life with cancer back in 2017—receiving tough PET news, seeking second opinions, and finding support in unexpected places. I talk about how therapy really helped, how romance novels reminded me to escape into stories, and how creativity (not necessarily mine) brought moments of light during some of the hardest times.

Gasp. Anxiety And Writing Didn't Prepare Me For Cancer.

2024/11/04

In this episode: I'll talk about how anxiety and writing didn't prepare me for cancer. And for entering the Hospital World. The Patient World. First of all, how dare anxiety not prepare me for this? I thought we had a deal—you'd give me fears, I'd be anxious about them. I'd learn, become a Google MD. Heck, I'd even develop OCD—starting young because why not? And boom, when something happens, I'd know how to handle it. Like. A. Pro. And maybe sometimes, yes. But when I got diagnosed, that plan went

This isn't your typical how-to guide, because let's be real—it’s more about the messy art of balancing (or not balancing) self-publishing, creativity, and cancer treatments. I’m publishing this episode on my fifth second birthday (my second birthday was the day I received my stem cells back during my autologous stem cell transplant). And I've been in remission for now five years after three years of treatment for refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, and while I won’t shy away from the tough stuff (we’ve
