With the other videos I have seen around AuthorTube lately, I decided it was the right time to finally share what's been going on with my health, and have a discussion on writing with a chronic illness and toxic productivity.

Mentioned Videos:
childhood trauma, heroes, and old souls || Building Strong Characters with Healthy Growth
