As a writer at one point, I tried to write a mystery, I worked the setting out so closely, it was set on the Oregon coast. The more I tried to imagine the mind of someone who would perpetrate these crimes, the more miserable I felt. The way that I write helps deal with loss of memory. I do a tremendous amount of reading, too. The most important thing is I am fighting back against the disease, I'm going to live, I'm going to function.
Writing is a crucial act of understanding and rebellion.
