Writing helps me. I have been writing for 15 years (since I first had a head tremor!).
I have now written a novel 'NEXUS' based on true events.
I want to share it. 🙂

Hi @stan,
It is great that you have found writing as an outlet for your experiences. Having something creative that you can do to express your emotions and share your thoughts/experiences can be really helpful.
Congratulations on writing a novel, thats amazing!! Looking forward to you sharing

Which state are you in? There may be ways to harness support for your novel.
Supporting my exhusband write his novel (and other art forms) helped him overcome serious schizophrenic symptoms.
