Some of you were probably wondering why I didn’t write a single line in the last few months. It’s not just Substack, I took a total break from writing. Why? I needed it.

For bipolar in remission, I play a lot of roles and I get fresh ideas all the time. Every once in a while I come to the point where I have to say STOP. If I don’t, bipolar disorder does. When that happens, I’m screwed. That’s why I pull a brake occasionally and try to get a well-deserved rest.

I quit the role...
