Hi! This is my Substack. Thank you for signing up to receive a few month's worth of thoughts and for bearing witness to my attempt at establishing (hopefully!) a regular writing practice.
There’s no telling if you know this or not, so I’d better say: last month I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I’m on short-term disability leave until October, and in the meantime I will be undergoing some chemo. I’ve had two surgeries in my brain and lung and now am now just recovering and figuring out what to do with this unprecedented free time. My prognosis is positive (so much so that no one’s ever even said the word “prognosis” to me), but I’ve decided that I have a lot of thoughts about it. So expect some writing in the coming days, weeks, and months! In addition to some rambling personal essays, maybe this will be my official unemployment diary. It will definitely not be all angst, all the time! It will even maybe be fun.
Love you all <3 hugs and smooches
