In this episode, I focus on dealing with mental illness in times of crisis as a creator and how to write more authentic mentally ill characters. I talk about my own mental health challenges and those of a character in my novel in progress. There are some mentions of suicidal ideation and medical neglect in this episode. Please take care of yourselves.
