I was a recent guest on TakeThis.org’s new podcast and had a great time talking with my colleague and former editor Russ Pitts about books, self-publishing, freelancing, and the writing life. But more importantly: throughout this conversation, we also talk openly about our personal challenges and how we’ve worked to overcome them in our writing careers. I’ve struggled with depression, severe anxiety, and ADHD, which has had a big impact on my day-to-day routine as a professional writer. In this interesting and upbeat discussion, Russ and I both share some of the things we face and offer tips on how other writers with similar challenges can work through them.
