Saw a dude in a comment section that said he wanted to kill himself.
So I messaged him and told him he isn’t allowed to.
We had a pretty good conversation about how its been rough the last few months.

i've done several interviews lately on great podcasts. most have focused on the book and upcoming film, but my discussion (links below) with Daniel Lucas @dsl_lucas on Mental Health 101 goes more into the mental health aspects of the book, the film, and my journey producing both.
among other things, steadfast friends help anchor me in stormy waters.
this is the reason i went beyond my short story "the darkness rolled over her" to create Five Coffees and a Book. it's an easy way to talk about hard things, and you'll make friends for life.
