I finally put together my migraine haiku book. It is a collection of 100 haiku all written during a migraine about having migraine. It is the biggest writing project I have tackled since this disease has taken over my life, and I’m proud of myself for completing it.

These are bad/pseudo haiku, only following the 5/7/5 syllable rule. The rest of the haiku rules were thrown out the window because to me that is what migraines have done to my life.

I really wanted to capture what it’s like having migraines and how it impacts so many areas of your life, including the full range of emotions. I also took the photos for the front and back covers.

So if your interested, check out Migraine Chick CafePress.

I love the haiku on the back cover. What a talent you have, to be able to do this in the midst of great pain.
