Pro wrestling veteran Saraya appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including the process of writing her memoir “Hell in Boots: Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives.”
Saraya said, “It was a tough write. It can get quite dark in there. I’m glad that I got it out there. It’s a vulnerable thing, where I’m kind of putting my diary out there, you know? [A] Very strange feeling. I’m not a person to be open about my feelings very often. It took me two years to write this book because the first year, I actually had to tell my story to a ghostwriter, and then I got the book and I was like, ‘This isn’t good enough. This doesn’t sound like me.’”
On talking to others to get their perspective on the stories in the book:
“I started from scratch, I rewrote the book again, and then I had to go over the same stories again, so definitely mentally exhausting.”
