This is a “pinch me” moment, for sure.
This week, I’m a guest on the Kobo Writing Life podcast! I’ve been listening to KWL for years while building my writing career, never imagining that one day I’d be listening to myself. Craziness!
Thank you so much to Rachel, Vanessa, and both the KWL and Kobo Originals teams for this incredible opportunity. I was so nervous going in, because I knew I needed to talk about mental health in the writing community, but it can be really tricky doing so. I once approached a mod in a writers’ forum about starting a thread, and she DMed, “We so need to talk about this stuff—I’ve struggled with mental health, too, even had to take a break—but we don’t talk about that here.” Well, where else are we supposed to talk about it, if not in the same chat rooms we discuss writing while flexing our substance abuse issues? 🤦🏻♀️
Thankfully KWL practices what they preach. Kobo truly supports authors, and I’m so grateful for them sharing their platform with me and letting me talk about this important issue.
You can listen everywhere podcasts are available.
