This snow-covered yard beyond a sidewalk the view of a water tower is the view from the office of bestselling author Nita Sweeney, currently working on a memoir about recovering from mental illness while her father was dying of cancer.

Bestselling author Nita Sweeney with her family. Her current project, MEMORIAL, is about her mental health recovery while her father was dying of cancer. Sweeney is on the left next to her father, mother, brother, and sister. They are wearing golf gear and holding golf clubs.

One year ago, I rented this office so I could focus to revise the #fatherdaughtermemoir I began in 2004. Today, I sent the manuscript to the copy editor. Please clap. #memorialmemoir #writingcommunity #booksky #staytuned #familymemoir #memoir #golfmemoir #mentalhealthmemoir

A6: By this time next year, I hope running has helped me remain relatively sane through another book launch. Stay tuned #memorialmemoir #runchat #writingcommunit #booksky #fatherdaughtermemoir #golfmemoir

Large peppermint mocha cup sitting on a Formica table next to a manuscript, a quiver of different colored pens, a tablet of paper, a printed spreadsheet, a stack of papers, and an empty egg bite sleeve. While this is further evidence that the writer is making progress, she continues to spend too much time taking photos of her work and posting them on social media.

Today's office. #booksky #authorsky #writingcommunity #memorialmemoir #mentalhealthbooks #fatherdaughtermemoir #golfmemoir #familydynamics
