You're Not Broken, You're Still Here.

by Nicole Duff

Overview

You're not Broken, You're Still Here is a digital survival manual for anyone crawling out of burnout, quiet collapse, or the ache of being too strong for too long.

This isn't a workbook. There are no gold stars, twelve-week plans, or demands to become someone new. This is a book for the late nights, the bathroom stall breakdowns, the long silences where words used to live.

Written in fierce, grounded language, this book walks with you, not ahead of you, with chapters that don't require a straight read or a perfect mindset. It's meant to be dog-eared, bookmarked, thrown in a bag or buried under a pillow.

Inside, you'll find myth, memory, and a voice that doesn't flinch. No shame. No fluff. Just proof that you're not alone. That survival is still survival, even if it's quiet.

You're not too much. You're not too far gone. You're just tired. And you're still here.

That matters.

The introduction to this book has been award Honorable Mention in the 94th Annual Writer's Digest Writing Competition, highlighting the impact the quality of the work.

About the Author

Nicole Duff is a systems administrator, writer, and survivor who knows what it means to hold it all together until it nearly kills you. Her work blends lived experience with dark humor, myth, and quiet defiance. She writes for the ones who feel like they're too much, too tired, or too far gone.

When she's not rebuilding infrastructure or unlearning burnout, she writes under the name Black Salt Scribe—telling stories for the underdogs, the overlooked, and the ones still crawling toward the light.

She lives in Washington with too many books, a stubborn will to endure, and the knowledge that survival is still worth something.
