What I Would Write About 📝

1. Being a system.

I’ve never heard of a SINGLE book about DID/OSDD/UDD that wasn’t a medical thing. I wish I could hear more about other multiple’s experiences and how they realized they have a CDD, I feel like it could be a great help to our community.

2. Mental illness and how it affects kids.

I’m mentally ill (obviously), I have AuDHD and UDD. I’ve known about the system since 11 years old and even when I didn’t know, the signs and symptoms still affected me and made me feel absolutely horrible for things I couldn’t (and still can’t) control. Every now and again I STILL feel guilty for my brain just trying to keep me alive. I want to write about that. I want other kids, teens, and adults to understand what it’s like or understand that they’re not struggling on their own.

3. My OCs!

Okok so (eek ><!!) I have these OCs, Ivar, Erik, and Astrid, it’s like if Brave was in a perpetually wintery environment and they were forced to adapt around that. Also Ivar is having an affair with Erik but he’s married to Astrid. They used to be in love, but there was a massive falling out between their whole families and now they just hate each other but Astrid’s essentially doomed if they get a divorce because she’d be a single woman with little to no job offers (midwife, wench, weaver, either way they barely survive).

Mental health awareness is crucial, especially when discussing conditions like Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Autism-ADHD (AuDHD). Many individuals find it challenging to locate resources that share authentic stories beyond medical narratives. The discussion about these experiences is vital for community support. Further, understanding how mental illness impacts children can foster empathy and awareness among peers and adults alike. For those interested in creative writing, the concept of original characters (OCs) provides an exciting platform to express thoughts and emotions in unique worlds. By developing OCs, writers can safely explore complex themes such as conflict, love, and societal pressures. Engaging with these narratives not only aids personal expression but opens doors to deeper conversations about mental health and resilience. Consider how your favorite OCs reflect your journey or those around you, creating a tapestry of shared human experiences. Whether you relate through struggle or artistic creation, storytelling remains a powerful avenue for connection and healing.

As a writer myself, the only way to get good at writing is to start! My advice is to read books in the style you enjoy (I looove Tolkien for the worldbuilding) & that’ll already help you notice writing patterns & stuff!! The biggest focus is to get words on paper, even if it’s just “and then something happens” or smth!
