This is the most personal post I’ve written. I am putting a trigger warning on this post, so please consider that before reading.* I debated posting this.

Greetings, Readers! I shared this in my recent author newsletter, but am letting my faithful blog readers know, too: I’ve decided to participate in #the100DayProject!
