About the book: Dancing with MonstersThis is a book about monsters. Not the cute, laughably incompetent ones you see in animated movies, but the ones you meet in your own life: ugly thoughts, unexpected losses, inexcusable evils. At age twenty, I had already discovered my monster-mind. I was an expert at negative thinking and expecting disaster. Then I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Together, the monsters whipped me into a wild dance, MS tapping out fear and sadness and my monster-mind twirling it into depression, rage and grief. It seemed like the monsters would win. A decade after being diagnosed, I discovered that what I knew about the creative process could help me deal with the frustrations of living with chronic illness (and life in general). Through that understanding, I entered into a dance with illness and healing, rather than running from them. Through memoir, essay and fanciful stories, this book explores the landscape of chronic illness, describes its contours and invites you onto the dance floor.
Mac and His MonsterEvery time I told the story, people asked if I had it in a separate storybook form. Now I do!
