Laughing So We Don't Cry: The Trilogy*
This post isn’t a trilogy, obviously.
And I didn’t actually write a memoir about My Secret Chocolate Period Book Stuffed With Riddle Cake That May Or May Not Contain Mice either but I don’t hear you complaining about that.
However, I DID allude to a trilogy titled Laughing So We Don’t Cry in The Adventures of MouseBoi™️ so I’m not completely lying to you. I’m only a little bit lying to you. That has to count for something, right?
Whatever. This is my blog and I can lie to you if I want to.
In summary: Fake News Headline, Total Nonsense, Lies Upon Lies, I Do What I Want, You Can’t Stop Me: The Musical.
COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU!!!
Most writing advice is tailored for neurotypical people. Neurodivergent writing is different. I've been bludgeoned w "thinking about writing isn't writing" in grad school. For my neurodivergent mind, it is, in fact, the vast majority of how I write. Trust your process, not theirs

I saw this tweet a few weeks ago and it really resonated with me. I think about writing all the time. In my head, I have SO MANY blog posts written. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always translate to real, live blog posts for you to read.
But if thinking about writing is part of the writing process, then talking about writing is clearly the next logical step, right? So, that’s what I’m going to do. This way, we can ALL think about these blog posts I have yet to write and I can panic even more about getting them out of my brain and into the world ASAP.
At the very least, you’ll have something to share when you so graciously tell your friends and family about my blog. You can send them the list below and say, “Here are all the things that Rebecca will or will not write about some point in the future or possibly never. She’s such a prolific writer. Just look at her trilogy!”
OR, you can join my mailing list and eagerly await the day that none or all of these blog posts arrive in your inbox. Your guess is as good as mine. What you absolutely WILL get if you subscribe to my mailing list is rambling blog posts like this one that have nothing to do with any of the things I told you I’d write about. And that’s a promise!
