Start. Here.
This is Byrontology
This is all Carrie Fisher’s fault.
When I was her assistant, she told me, “Take your broken heart and go make art.”
So I did.
Hi. I’m Byron.
Come closer.
I write stories you feel.
About failure. Love. Family. Success. Depression. Meaning.
And how to keep going.
Like:
what working for Carrie taught me about fame
how the gay orgy tent at Burning Man snapped me out of a funk
what I learned about love by losing my virginity to a TV weatherman
why being a published author doesn’t make you happy
What people say:
“I’m sitting in a coffee shop reading this and tearing up like crazy.”
— Laura
“I read this on a 13-hour flight back from Portugal
and it caught me in exactly the right place.”
— Afonso
“This profound piece really hit home.”
— David
I’d like to send you something personal.
It’s a little book I wrote when I felt like a failure.
And how I found my way back.
It’s a small gift. Plus access to my favorite stories, if you want. No junk.
Not ready?
