In this episode, we are speaking with Author Kristof
Morrow. Kristof is a Navy veteran, author, and award-winning
journalist from Texas. Surviving a hellish upbringing of addiction
and abuse, he joined the military as a corpsman immediately after
high school. After serving for a year, he manifested Tourette's and
the severity of his condition incurs great injury to himself, even
now. Kristof made several attempts to attend a university and even
won the highest awards at two different schools for their annual
creative writing contests, but ultimately decided to continue
self-teaching. Then, in 2016-2017, he became sober from alcohol
after struggling for several years became a journalist by audition,
and won awards in photography as well as feature writing from two
Texas press associations. Kristof moved to Canada in 2017 to live
in British Columbia and began writing his book “The Second Sun” in
October 2021 and finished in February of this year. He volunteers
tutoring other writers one-on-one, has an elderly cat named
Sparkles, and just published a kid's Christmas book called “Liam
Earns a Friend!”
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Kristof shares his story, his experience being
diagnosed with Tourette’s, and how he is so much more than his
symptoms and diagnosis. He also shares the message that your
diagnosis is not your fault, yet it is your responsibility how you
manage or respond to it.
2) Kristof’s story of writing, becoming a published author and
connecting with his readers to help increase the reach of his
book.
