The Passing of The Bipolar Writer’s Mother
What I need most is support from the mental illness community. When my grandfather passed, it destroyed me, and I was close to my grandfather and even closer to my mom, she is the only reason. The Bipolar Writer and my pen name James Edgar Skye exists, why I am who I’ve become, it was my mom.
How Publishing my Memoir Changed Everything
Now I feel like the other projects I am working on can finally move forward. The most pressing being my fantasy fiction novel and my novella, which will be the next two projects that I will be working on as both are in the stage of editing.

Sleep, Is it the Cause of it All?
This is not the first time that I have done these tests and got a sleep apnea machine.

Since the masks have improved and I am hopeful that tonight’s sleep study that things will work out better and I will finally be able to conquer this insomnia thing.

We Said Goodbye Five Years Ago
Just from these photos, you can see the people that loved him and that five years ago came together to honor this great man.
