I see writing to the way Dumbledore uses the Pensieve in Harry Potter—it's a way to dump them out as it's happening in the moment, for analysis later at a distance instead of getting caught up in the emotional spiral. Can't wait to read more of your story when you're ready to share!

I'm not up to speed on my Harry Potter game, but that's a great comparison! :)

Writing has been a lot of things but the most consistent role it has played is as some sort of human decoder for me. I am just pulling this all together in my mind the last few weeks, but if someone writes about their life or even texts me frequently, this is how I understand them the very best. Without the writing aspect, it is very hard for me to form connection with them. Could be an autism thing (people on paper are silent while also saying a lot!) but I haven’t seen it mentioned somewhere else. Cheering you on. 🧡

Thank you! It’s weird how I knew that writing was a form of therapy and a way to think through my thoughts, but it wasn’t until I listened to that podcast that it all came together for me. I was like ahh, I get it. And it’s so clear to me now, how writing serves its purpose in my life, beyond trying to write this book. 🙂🤩
