Saraya Opens Up About The Painful Process Of Writing Her Memoir

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.”
