Where it started.

It was the day Carrie Fisher died.

I was crying in my bathtub and posted a note on Facebook.


Maybe I should write more.

The post went viral and it made me think maybe I should write more about my adventures with Carrie.

She used to tell me, “Take your broken heart and make art.”

So I did.


Coming up.

Here’s how I wrote my manuscript and found an agent. Plus, things that actually helped along the way. And how you can contact me and ask me your questions.
