Authors note.
I started to write because of the fact that I have PTSD not just neurodivergence. I was first born in a war zone that I was repeatedly traumatized in before the age of 3. I was adopted to Canada at age 2 and I started to fear balloons and grow to hate the things for unknown reasons until I discovered the writer word and learned about PTSD. Then the pieces started to fall in to place. Though I woud experience more trauma with being bullied, groomed and even assaulted and losing my parents. This was a rough ride for me.
i started to write when things were getting too much with my parents and would have to move out to find greener pastures. Though the pastures were greener, I was groomed by my moron bother and then assaulted by him after my mother died. That being said be for I write on and off during the pandemic but it would be a something that would be like having a drink of wine at supper time for m, but I don’t drink so I write my problems through fiction and poetry. This is my therapy and coping mechanism for life.
i would see that life would throw me a few more minor curve balls but I still write from day to day. I have been writing “echoes of us: a novel” for the past week. For the echoes of us contest. Though I would take time to write the odd poem when I need to.
I write mostly:horror, erotica and romance novels on wattpad and Inkitt. Though I have been hymming about poetry. So i went on ChatGPT and started do design a poem book cover snd then started to write a poem in such a long time.
but I would soon start to use my many traumas as a crutch though I did not want to, so now I only have it to help me with my writing. So this is why the book i am compiling write now. So I take all my negativity, and I have a lot, to my writing and leave the good emotions for life. Though life doesn’t want to work like this. It will be at my will.
