My next project won't be done for quite some time. I have a lot of work to do on it. It will also be about Borderline Personality Disorder, but it will be a different take on it. That's all I can say about it for now.

The best thing for me about being a writer is having my voice heard. Having my thoughts and feelings shared with the world. I've never had my own voice before. I was too shy and scared to use it. Now I am a lot better.

Don't give up! It took me a few years to write my book. It took several revisions to get it accepted for publishing. I never gave up. I just kept submitting it until finally I got the email saying that it had been approved. It was the best day ever! (Cue SpongeBob singing)

I have a passion for being a support for people with BPD. This passion helps me get inspired.

I do something else for a while. Maybe go for a walk, or put on my headphones and listen to music while playing a game on my computer. Then I come back refreshed. It usually helps.

I felt compelled to spread the word about Borderline Personality Disorder and help erase some of the stigma associated with it. I have been in recovery for over ten years now. There is help out there. I want people to know that. 10% of people with BPD commit suicide. We need them to know that help is out there.
