I thought it was a nice touch how you wrote that your story is fictional in different ways if told from alternate points of view. I understand where you're coming from on that part in particular.
Where can i get a copy of the book. My uncles been diagnosed with schizophrenia and aparently it runs in familys. Ive noticed that I dont think like regular people. I am sane at the moment but i dont want to loose it.Aside from that im also just interested in your story.
I like what I've heard, and now want to hear the rest. You've made me wonder how much of my journal (which is not intended for other eyes until I am dead) is truth and how much my own fiction. I suspect every autobiography is at least partially fiction, because we tend to see things in our lives with a narrow focus. Our truth may not match that of those close to us, nor theirs ours. But if we try to be honest with ourselves it is the best we can do. I'm looking forward to your "fiction."
Cool. I'm going to make a totally weird comment: Every time I see you I am absolutely amazed by your hair! You gotta have the coolest looking hair EVER. :o) Ok, was that weird? Thought I just throw that in...
LOL My hair has amazed me most of my life. It has a personality all its own! When I was younger and grew it long it turned into a huge afro. I hated the fact that it would never stay in place. Now, as I have gotten older, my hair is much calmer but has turned virtually white. Life and my hair continue to be beyond my control! Thanks for the compliment.
I definitely would like you to read more. I know people who are bipolar but have not understood what the world was like for them, and now, for you. aloha :) ray

I wrote to stay out of the hospital. It is TRUE for me.
As someone (Alice Walker?) once said:
"Some people say they live to write. For me it more simple, I write to live."
Sounds good to me. Thank you very much for your comments. Peace.
