“Chaos, Creativity, Completion hands the mic to fifteen ADHD writers who don’t color inside the lines, and don’t need to. These essays are often sharp, strange, and gloriously anti-rule. They’ll show you that your messy process isn’t a flaw; it’s a feature. The message is simple but radical: When ADHD writers work with their brains instead of against them, the result isn’t just different—it’s better.” * Tracy Otsuka, podcast host and author of ""ADHD for Smart Ass Women"" * “Sometimes it takes a while to become who you already are. And for those of us who are dynamic, kinetic, and variously ‘too alive,’ writing and community are often the pathways that lead us there. Here. Every essay in this book illuminates a different path to wholeness, not alone but always interconnected with others. I feel so grateful that this book exists and that it will doubtlessly accompany waves of neurodivergent writers out there joyfully becoming who they already are.” * Chris Martin, author of ""May Tomorrow Be Awake: On Poetry, Autism, and Our Neurodiverse Future"" *
