I sent an email to the Daily Show’s Ed Helms, asking him to look at my YouTube videos. The reason I picked him? We both went to Oberlin.
Hours later, I realized I hadn’t given him the link to the page, so I wrote back with the URL.
Sometimes I’m just embarrassed to be me.

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
I know the feeling. (As someone once said, “I feel your pain.”)
Print to TV does seem like a logical jump, but don’t forget your humble reading audience once you become famous.
