I'm also one of those people who I'm like every time I feel like something's wrong with me, I'm like could I have endo?
Because there are just so many symptoms.
And I think it's also because a lot of my friends who have been diagnosed with endo treated so casually because their medical professionals have been treating it so casually.
I had a friend who had a C-section and she told me that when she got stitched up, the doctor told her, oh, we also noticed you had some endo in there so we cleaned that all up for you.
And she was like, oh.
Thanks.
And I had this other friend in the office and I was like, what are you doing this weekend?
And she's like, oh, I'm going to get my endo removed third time.
I'm like, what?
And it's surgery.
It's a surgery.
Have you ever been to one, Anne?
I've never been to a writers' festival.
I honestly think I wouldn't know what writers' festivals would be if I wasn't friends with you guys or if I didn't work in media and publishing.
And like a lot of my friends who aren't in the industry, I think the first time they heard about writers' festivals was when this one got cancelled.
So I wanted to know just as someone who reads a lot of books, should I be going to writers' festivals like the same way I go to music festivals?
Yeah.
I know so many of my friends who are huge bookworms.
Why do you think writers festivals is not really a thing that's been on their radar?
It's a really good question.
