How it is to write a little, how it is to parent a child with cancer: open.substack.com/pub/erinlund...
Ah yes, it’s time for my every-seven-months-I-have-a-chance-to-write-so-I-get-excited-and-post-everywhere refresh. #writers #writing #shortstoryclub #readingshortstories
Working on more fiction, but lately really interested in putting together a collection of #CNF & essays, and it’s exciting-intimidating. Starting with research.

Little girl goes in tomorrow for her first blood draw with no sedation after several with sedation and I am hopeful she can negotiate with her fear and get this done.
Writing helps everything for me. #childhoodcancer #adhd #oncologymom #thyroidcancer #neurodivergence

Looking for recommendations for #literaryjournals that publish short horror/dark stories.

There’s no way that RFK, Jr. and Musk can rescind FDA approval on an oral chemotherapy for pediatric patients, right? Like, that’s out of the realm of possibility, right? They won’t come after cancer kids, right? Right?
This month’s Short Story Club titles are up. We meet online and welcome new readers.
I had my monthly writers’ group last night. I haven’t submitted a piece since my daughter’s cancer diagnosis, and even though I understand why I’m having trouble, it still hurts that I can’t write (like I used to).
I’m looking forward to songwriting with my mental health #musictherapy group today. The possibilities are nearly endless.
I don’t know where to put my energy. The news makes me sick & scared & angry. I worry about cancer research & the NIH. I worry about the kids who are being frisked & traumatized outside hospitals if they don’t look white.
Meanwhile, my cancer kid’s hair is falling out, & I don’t know why.
I wonder if Highly Sensitive People have a lot more trouble finding a sense of self. I am watching my HSP 5yo contort himself around his 11yo brother’s vocal and physical volume and I just think, Whoa, it’s gonna be a long road of learning. This coming from a 42yo who still has a ways to go. #HSP
Doing what I can to keep myself grounded while parenting a daughter with cancer and kids with ADHD. #childhoodcancer
Sure, all three of my ADHD kids talked through the whole movie, and certainly we will take days to complete this single movie, but were we all together in one space? We were. Success. #ADHD
