Brutally Honest. Unfiltered. Real.
Writing isn’t just about words on a page—it’s about the struggles, the burnout, the doubts, and the fight to keep creating.
In Author Talk, I lay it all out. No filters, no fluff—just raw, honest conversations about writing, life, and the messy, complicated journey of balancing both. From the highs of inspiration to the lows of burnout, this is where I talk about what it really means to be a writer, a creator, and a person trying to figure it all out.
