I spend the majority of my writing time revising my debut memoir. The story chronicles how a mixed manic/depressive episode derailed my life and relationships and how—by reevaluating my beliefs and examining choices I'd made—I fought my way back to reality and self-acceptance. The book tackles mental health, recovery, discrimination and the way we see others as well as the empathy and kindness we show them.
