(Creative Nonfiction) The conversation was emotional, spiritual—the way conversations about trauma tend to be. He encouraged me to channel my feelings into my creativity and gave me a warning.
This is great, Annie! (the writing and the story not the PTSD or accident). FYI, I think the link up top to "journey of hope" might be broken, would be interested to check that out.
Strong memoir. I really liked the balance of how difficult it is to talk to someone about feeling different and getting incomplete responses that mean well. In the first few paragraphs, I was beginning to diagnose you myself, but I was way off; not even close to PTSD. My favorite part: "Don't overcorrect!"... you overcorrect. I've done that before.

Thanks so much Miter! I think I fixed the link. Thanks for letting me know!
