The archetypal psychologist James Hillman says are destiny lies in our vulnerability. He points to many examples. Fancis Ford Copolla is on of those examples. He suffered severe asthma as a child and couldn't play with the other children. He watched them from his window and wrote elaborate stories. He later went on to become a great filmmaker. I try to see this challenge as an opportunity. I can always write under any conditions. My bipolar disorder and neurological conditions make a a rich source of material to draw upon.
