Intro: This isn’t your typical how-to guide, because let’s be real—it’s more about the messy art of balancing (or not balancing) self-publishing, creativity, and cancer treatments. I’m publishing this episode on my fifth second birthday (my second birthday was the day I received my stem cells back during my autologous stem cell transplant). And I’ve been in remission for now five years after three years of treatment for refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and while I won’t shy away from the tough stuff (we’ve all cried in the shower, right?), I’m hoping to fill this series with humor, hope, and maybe a bit of awkward laughter.

Join me on the first Monday of every month for Big, but Not Romance Big: Looking Back at Cancer Treatments, Creativity, and All the Weird Stuff In Between.

Dear Raccoon Author Diary: Facebook Ads, Lucy Score & All the Ideas – The Raccoon Author's Self-Publishing Diary

A few days in this Raccoon Author’s self-publishing life. 🦝On September 8, I’m once again trying to figure out what the heck is happening with my Facebook Ads account (the saga continues…), while also revising, answering tax questions, working on BookSprout and replying to readers.Then on September 12, my brain goes from AuthorScale to listening to Lucy Score on the SPA Girls Podcast, to Gallup Strengths, writing through emotions, feeling seen by another author’s process… and, obviously, coming up with even more ideas for future podcast episodes.Because apparently I needed more ideas.

  1. Hey! Just wanted to say how much I loved the latest episode of your podcast. I’ve been a caretaker and hearing your experience helps me better understand, especially the long-term effects. After my mom went through surgery and treatments and was cancer-free, I thought that’s amazing, it’s all over! She’ll get her strength back and everything will be normal again. But then years later she casually mentioned the neuropathy in her feet and I was like…WHAT? What is that?! She always downplays everything – I think if she could have driven herself to surgery, she would have waited until after to tell anyone about it, just to keep her family from worrying – so she rarely talked about what she was experiencing. Thanks for telling your story ❤️

    1. Jennifer, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I’m sorry your mom had to go through treatments and so glad she’s cancer-free! Also as I said caretakers are superheroes <3 I know it can be a lot and sometimes it's so hard to know what's going on. One of the things I had to work on as a patient is realizing that I was not a burden. It can be so hard to lean on others for help – even though this is the only way the people who love us can feel a little bit less like they cannot help, you know? I'm really grateful that me telling my story is helpful. If you have any questions or anything you'd like me to expand on, don't hesitate. I'll be doing those particular episodes once a month. Sending all the best to you and your mom!
