Interview - Sandi Parsons - Writing a novel

from Forrest Chat · host Paul van der Mey

Sandi talks about writiing with and about cystic fibrosis (cf), what it takes, what it means and how you do it. My favourite quote of the episode is "Maybe other children who know kids with CF may get a little bit of an insight into our headspace, of what it's like to live with something where you're constantly worried about being judged and not fitting in and not being normal. Because, we all do that,  we all have something where we don't feel that we're normal. Whether we're not good at sports, whether we're not good at math, there is always something. But maybe, it will be that realisation for them that having CF isn't actually getting special treatment when they got time off to do certain things that they might need to go and do. Maybe."
