What is your project?

My Roadies 5 quest was to build a platform for people to access ideas about liminal space and liminality, trickling these concepts into their everyday lives so that when the book arrives into print they have their own platform for engaging in the work.

Success? Sure! I created and maintained a substack account with a series of articles “exploring the edges of being human” called, Borderlands. I cross-posted these articles, or links to them, onto social sites like Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.

I love breaking down bigger concepts into edible pieces and relating them to our everyday lives. In my experience, many people are somewhat daunted by science, scientific terms, and learning about emotions. I believe these can be made accessible in a relatable and disarming way, and that’s also part of my intention with this series.

In the modestly priced paid edition of my substack, subscription includes an audio recording of each article as well as snippets about my writing process and a bit of the first draft of the in-the-works- novel.
