Writing About Trauma:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These guides are for when you are in the thick of writing and things come up you’re not sure how to address, or you want ideas on how to approach certain ideas ethically. This is your yellow brick road, as it were…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking Trauma: A Notebook For Neurodivergent Writers<\/a><\/strong> This guide is designed to help writers explore the deeply personal process of writing about their own trauma, not as a polished essay\u2014but as raw, reflective notes for creative growth.

Nah, I put the essential stuff back in that makes you love editing as much as you love writing. Don’t believe me just watch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
