Adversity & Audacity: SF & F from Cancer Survivors

Let’s talk about Adversity! I think we can all Cancer Sucks! Let’s talk about Audacity! How do you face a devastating illness like cancer? You need to be audacious. If you’re a writer, that means you write! You refuse to let the cancer steal your art, your gift, your ability to invent whole worlds. When your body is struggling, your mind befuddled, by pain and chemo that takes and takes, you remember that you have the power to bring into creation a thing that has never existed, a new story, and that you get to share it with the world.It’s not an easy thing to do, not by any means or measure, but if it was then it wouldn’t be audacious.It’s also something that more people need to see. When writers are faced with Adversity they can respond with Audacity.It’s inspiring!
