Writers, We Need to Talk About Creative Burnout
This summer, I burned out. I touched on this in my post last week with a few brief paragraphs about why I'd disappeared from most of my online platforms.

Make Creative Space: Shifting Gears to Slow My Roll
Hi, my name is Erin, and I'm bad at taking breaks. Notoriously bad at it. I am anything but a role model for self-care, no matter how many posts I write about it, trying to convince myself otherwise. Exhibit 1: I am about to write a blog post about how I'm giving myself a break … Continue reading Make Creative Space: Shifting Gears to Slow My Roll

It didn’t help that this week slammed me with a migraine that didn’t respond to meds and from … Continue reading When Writing for Joy Doesn’t Cut It, Rage Is All I Have

That makes this as good a time as any to share my experience of learning late in life that I'm neurodivergent, how my diagnosis has shifted my self-image, and how adjusting my brain chemicals has brought new ease … Continue reading Relearning My Mind: ADHD and My Writing Journey
Words Versus Spoons: On Writing with Chronic Illness
I was going to blog about something else this week, probably editing and what it's like to return to a book I haven't looked at for awhile as I dip back into revisions on GALATEA'S PARADOX. However, life and my rogue immune system had other plans. I've been hesitant to write on this topic for … Continue reading Words Versus Spoons: On Writing with Chronic Illness
