Put it all out there, your first emotions when going through those metal doors, the first nurses look, the prick of the need that gave you pins and needles, the medicine and how your stream of consciousness wade too and fro. Make it sound like a journey into the underworld where you come out alive. It is after all that isn't it?

Thankfully I don't have to many negative people to write about in the hospital, but if I wrote about everything it would be very different. Thesaurus is a good idea I tend to use synonyms on word but it's not very good. That's what's important the small details that create the world around you and inside you. I'm not great at creative writing but I do enjoy it. This piece is very exploratory and a bit hard to write atm cos my thoughts are in line with what happened but I'm enjoying it. It takes my mind off everything that's going on in my head.
Thanks for this!
