when your brain won’t hold the thread 🧵

missed out on writing through brain fog and/or the cell method?

You know that feeling when you sit down to write and it’s like trying to think through fog?

You had the idea five minutes ago. You knew exactly what you wanted to say. But now you’re staring at the screen and the thought has dissolved, or fractured into three different directions, or simply... left.

And you can’t remember what you were even trying to write about.

This isn’t writer’s block. This is your brain doing what brains with limitations do—moving slower, dropping threads, refusing to hold multiple pieces at once. It’s cognitive fog, and it makes writing feel impossible.

But here’s what I’ve learned after years of writing books while living with schizoaffective disorder, POTS, fibromyalgia and various other illnesses that come with brain fog: you don’t need a clear mind to write well. You need methods that work with the fog instead of demanding it lift first.

That’s what Writing Through Brain Fog and The Cell Method do.

• Writing Through Brain Fog teaches you how to write when your thoughts won’t stay linear. When you lose your place mid-sentence. When you read what you wrote yesterday and have no memory of writing it. It gives you concrete techniques for capturing ideas before they dissolve, for building writing sessions that don’t exhaust your cognitive budget, for working in the spaces between clarity.

• The Cell Method is your system for managing complex writing projects when you can’t hold the whole structure in your head. It breaks manuscripts into small, manageable cells you can work on independently. You can write scene 47 on Tuesday and scene 12 on Wednesday, and the method shows you how to keep everything coherent even when your brain can’t maintain the overview.

Together, they give you both the how of writing through cognitive fog and the structure for building something substantial even when you can only work in fragments.

Today only, they’re bundled together for $127 instead of $194.

Not because it’s Black Friday and everything must go. But because if you’re trying to write while your brain feels like it’s moving through mud, you need tools that actually work with your reality. And these two systems, together, give you a complete approach.

The bundle disappears at midnight PT tonight. I’m not bringing it back.

If you’ve been trying to write by sheer force of will, waiting for the fog to clear before you can really begin—this is the alternative. A way to write that doesn’t require a clear mind first.
