Hi Kelsey! I am about to publish my first memoir this January too. I am so excited to read your new book! Are you nervous about its release and the feedback you may get? I'm nervous, but also extremely excited to publish mine. You really inspire me with your courage and as a writer. Thank you!

Kelsey Miller Thanks, Brittany. And, congratulations!

Yes, as excited as I am, I get overwhelmed with anxiety about the feedback I might get from family members or close friends. For me, at least, it's so much easier to be vulnerable with readers than it is with those I'm close to. I think that's relatively common — which is comforting! But there's certainly a consequence to speaking you truth. Though I don't regret it at all, it's still scary and tough. Probably the biggest comfort is thinking of the other memoirists who have come before me. I think, if Mary Karr can do it, so can I. That's not to equate us as writers (come on!) but just to equate us as humans with families and friends who might be pissed off at us for what we've disclosed. She seems to be doing okay. So, maybe I'll do okay too. Finger crossed, you and I both will. (less)

How do you get inspired to write?

It's tough, because I want to be working on something new and exciting ALL the time, but if I don't take breaks then my brain just produces mush. But if I make myself do it, then I'll find myself sitting on a bus one day, and that's when the next good idea hits. So, short answer: take breaks and take bus rides. (less)
