Unflappable: Soaring Beyond a Diagnosis
I wrote a memoir about rare disease, paragliding, and finding healing. Ten months from concept to on-sale. I’d been building a solid writing practice for over a year, and then realized that the 2,000 word essays I’d become comfortable producing could take the shape of something else with the right planning and focus. I knew I would need outside help, that I wasn’t an expert at writing books, and that memoir in particular required specialized editorial guidance. Luckily, I found an amazing editor and learned a great deal about the process along the way.
The process of writing this book changed me—I proved to myself in a very personal and tangible way that I can build complex and durable things, that I thrive when a project is daunting, requiring more effort than you can conceptualize before the work begins. And now we are going to direct that same energy into your problems, projects, and ideas.
