there is something deeply cleansing about writing in the midst of a psychotic episode. ripping at the frayed seams of my brain feels generative. it is generative—something is created.
tips if you are interested in trying this:
1. do not reread as you go. that is something called ruminating and it is not the same as writing.
2. learn to identify what can be rehabilitated and what should be gratefully acknowledged and then discarded. don’t force your thoughts to stand the test of time.
3. do not write within the horrors if it can be avoided. let them stay beside you. they can watch and listen as you reach for something more.
4. remember to eat periodically.
5. you don’t have to polish to a shine before sharing unless you want to. but know that you are not holding a masterpiece. that is fine. you are holding something, and it fits within your palms.
