What I Love About Writing
Good morning, Marvellous Mavens. I hope you're having a pleasant Saturday morning.
Today, I thought I'd talk to you about what I love about writing.
It's no secret that when I was younger, I had a lot more emotional problems. Dealing with Major Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder used to be a source of constant heartache. So, I would escape by daydreaming when I was younger and when I got a little older, escaping into the worlds of my stories.
I would spend entire days in front of the computer building my stories as well as doing research.
Now that I've finally found medication that works for me, I can be more balanced, especially since I have a husband and cats that depend on me (no kids yet, much to my chagrin).
But when I went too far and tried to commit suicide in 2011, I didn't even know that the psych ward was an option for those kinds of thoughts. And the media portrays the psych ward more as a place to be feared. So, I try to put accurate portrayals of mental health issues as well as my own physical health issues, so that no one out there has to feel alone and so that they know that the hospital is an option before it gets to that point and hopefully save their life.
So, if you'd like to purchase one of my books to support me in my mission, you can order a signed book on TikTok and Shopify below:
