It was "asleep" for many years and quite honestly, I was walking through the world with a dysfunctional brain. I kept some journals but many were disjointed -- words ran on and sentences hardly made any sense. When I read them, I needed to read between the lines in order to figure out what I was saying. My big problem was I could not write during those dark years. My brain shut down and as a writer, I was not functioning well. That's why I did apply for the United Arts grant in 2008 -- I was forced to write. That brought me out of my writer's block and now, words are coming back to me. Yeah! I'm a writer and I feel great! This blog is keeping me on the right track and it's allowing me to continue my bigger project -- my book. Darla - I appreciate your kind words and support. We've been through a lot as survivors. I am proud to call you my friend.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109917436333142319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708959464569594142.post-31985642412765525422011-06-29T16:29:48.780-04:002011-06-29T16:29:48.780-04:00Well, now I see I didn't do it right so I'...Well, now I see I didn't do it right so I'm reposting what I said here . . . Marilyn, I'm not sure I'm doing this right but giving it a try to see if it posts back on your FB page. So far your blog is amazing! Did you keep a detailed journal during your journey? I can't imagine anyone remembering the details you've described otherwise. Heck, I had tatoos and can't even remember getting them. But, I think I was in a fog for a lot of my treatment . . . my built in defense mechanism!!Darlanoreply@blogger.com
