can I write trauma?

I can. I’ve had praise for how well I can wrap trauma around the heart. Trauma & I, we’re old friends.

I don’t like to write it, but sometimes it’s necessary, though I shy away from deeply disturbing. Still, that's why I took precautions before writing Bk6.

It isn’t difficult to go there. The trick is getting back.

Over time, I’ve become better at distancing myself & can thank writing for that.
