Ya know, Sophiesmom... I've actually tried that.

When I was in the hospital, following my last attempt to hit my delete button, one of the staff told me about the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It's kind of like an on-line marathon for writers. This was in late October two years ago, I guess. (I think I've said elsewhere it was one year ago... time flies...) When I got home I decided to try it. Since I didn't really have any idea what to write about, I just decided to write about my struggles with being trans...

(Actually this is where the idea of my "psychotic fraternal twin sister came from.) What I wrote was pretty awful!

But I did reach the objective of the event which is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Well, I've tried to do this again twice since then & haven't been able to get to first base.

It seems that, although I can write, "like a crazy person"

in a situation like this, if I try to sit down & write something like an article, or a book, my mind just goes blank!

I read a post a few days ago where the writer said that Zoloft erases people's creativity. I don't know if this is true or not & I'm not on Zoloft now. (I was at one time.) But I am on Cymbalta & I could see where the same sort of thing could possibly be happening.

I suppose I could try writing a journal from my fraternal twin sister's perspective.

That might be interesting although I don't know how much material a disembodied crazy girl could manage to come up with...
