I Ghosted My Entire Social Circle for a Book. Am I a Monster or an Author?

Hey Besties,

I need to confess something that is totally ironic, considering I preach an "unscripted life."

 I have officially ghosted my entire social circle because of my new book.

My friends are sending me "Are you alive?" messages. 

My DMs are neglected. 

But honestly? 

My characters are having a crisis, and their drama is more pressing than deciding where to get brunch. 

My MC just got pushed out of his hotel room by a mysterious flood, okay?! That’s a real emergency!

If you've ever felt the absolute, unhinged drive when creation takes over—the "Who Needs Sunlight When You Have Word Count?" phase—then you know this is the ugly truth of creative entrepreneurship, especially when you’re in that almost all consuming creative zone.

Am I self-sabotaging? Am I finally focused? Both?

In The Ash Files, I share the full, honest crash-out.

 I break down exactly what happens when your creative obsession takes over, how to pull yourself back from the "editing gremlin" ledge, and the real reason why this isolation phase is both necessary and totally unsustainable.

Unlock The Ash Files to read the full confession and the crash-out that followed.
