I love hearing how Chelsea got to the point of writing her book -- very inspirational for me as someone who's writing a book about my past trauma stuff. Glad to hear another writer who uses her diaries and journals to help with the writing! I pre-ordered "I Shouldn't Be Telling You This" and can't wait for it to arrive!

You had me at "dating an older magician"

I found it so interesting that Chelsea saturated her brain with learning to write until one day she said fuck it and started writing! I take that as a sign of how serious she was at her approaching the craft - true determination.

Added to my to-read list, which means in 2025 I'll be reading your book!

So excited to learn about this book. Very much into cults, female friendship breakups, dating magicians (a new obsession ever since visiting the Magic Castle), and surprise parent reveals!

I was also glad to hear about all the journals Chelsea still has. I've been writing in a journal/diary since I was seven and have a whole shelf full of them. The contents are sometimes embarrassing but always illuminating. The best kind of source material!
