What Have You Lost?

What Have You Lost?

After keeping my name and my work offline for several years, I visited The Brooklyn Art Library, and decided to submit a sketchbook of my own.

My book is titled “What Have You Lost?” From my Author Bio:

I found a little zine in a stack of old papers in my parents’ basement. The question and confession are still true.

In it I wrote:
“WHAT AM I DOING? Once spoken aloud, all statements sound trite.
“OBSERVED: in store / on subways / on street.
“MY CONFESSION: I think this is why I stopped writing.”

So I wondered: What can I write that’s honest? What can I write that’s true?

*What Have You Lost?*

And I started writing again, here….

I’m dropping it off tomorrow and once it’s been digitized I will post the link here. This is new. This is big. It’s me, with my name and everything. See you soon.

How to Write a Story Without Details?

Am figuring out how to write the post “Psych Ward: Patient Transformation” without using too many details. I have a wonderful story about a patient who was in when I was, but don’t know how to write it. 

Do I just go with a fake initial (J.*  — *Not the real name)? I want to be respectful that it’s his story, not mine.

Suggestions?

Loving BP Magazine!

I’m really loving BP Magazine. I found it in a Headache Institute office’s waiting room, and it was the best part of the appointment! They put out regular posts on Facebook: well-written pieces by people with Bipolar. The magazine had a great article on brain fog and the things readers do to cope with memory loss. I felt like I found my people! Check it out.
