Writing is something that is lifelong skill to craft, so you shouldn't feel like you aren't adroit because obviously you've shown that it's something you're adept at. I've had to read lots of difficult texts in my day so I was able to discern that the message of the text was to establish a connection. I just wanted to ask how you were making the connection accessible because it seems like the prose is supposed to be in the form of a secret that is not easily accessed.
That's awesome that you've written a novel. Is it about your experiences with your dx? When my husband was having a breakdown I desperately sought first hand anecdotal writings but they were very limited. Also most were from females, and I always searched for a male perspective. My favorite to date is Brian Wilson's I am Brian Wilson but I would like to read more. Of course, ive read lots of literature with characters who experience psychosis but it is not the same.
Thank you for sharing your writing.

For several years I've pursued being a published novelist. I've written one and started many others. In a way, I'd wanted those novels or at least one novel to be my "Gatsby message" put out into the universe. A way to reach out to and reconnect with lost people from my yesteryears or to connect with someone or some people I've yet to find by way of imbuing an esotericism into the story, letting them know that I am speaking to them.
I don't really have the talent to be a published novelist though. The understanding of that fact is disappointing because it seems as though I won't be able to find those people and/or they won't know that I'm looking or where to find me. It's a ludicrous and quixotic notion, I know.
