I guess I am probably the most uncoventional writer on this platform. My existence as a Trans in an Asian world makes me write in a really wierd way (plus Eng is a 2nd lang). My ADHD traits also made me unable to complete a book of the Classics. However, I was able to finish all the pages of Fight Club and a other Chuck Palahniuk books because I really enjoyed the changes in perspectives, the shifts in identity, the way pyschosis is described in a creative way without being an academic paper. Whenever I start typing for the monthly challenge, it's more like a process of art therapy than a creative writing assignment. This process sometimes forbades me from being PC and being really vulgar, and I know I am always just a few paragraphs away from being banned from this platorm. But what comes may, writing in Novelo really resuced me from the brink, I could have been an addict ODing before 50, but typing words really helped me to think twice before I reach for the meth pipe. I won't win views, but Novelo got me on a tragetory of improvement! Thank you so much!
