I said I would share about the writing process, so let me explain how it has been going…

I started by writing out some things I remembered. I structured those pages into files, according to time frame. I next made an outline that allowed me to put everything I remembered into chronological order. I then used the outline to make sure everything went in that specific order that I had already written.

Next, I went into each file and wrote as much as I could remember to that point. I also wrote a basic dedication and introduction. I keep going back and revising these as I get further along.

I have been working on the first drafts of the first few parts of the book. I would like to work my way through and get each part’s first draft done before I begin working on the fine points of each part.

Right now, I am working on the first draft of the Fall of 2022. This includes my first breakdown. It’s been difficult remembering everything that happened, and it’s not easy putting it into words either. I really want this book to take the reader into my head throughout each and every episode or time I was out of touch with reality. I want people to come to understand. That’s important to me.

It’s also difficult dealing with everything that happened. I write for a while, and then I have to take a break to process it all. It takes me a little bit of time to lay each piece to rest. This is an important part of the healing process for me. I need to put this all behind me, so I can go on with my life. This is a vital part of me being able to go on to be a successful individual, not someone who is held back by trauma.

These episodes are very traumatic. When you read the book, you will come to have a better understanding of what someone who suffers with a mental illness actually goes through. At least, from my point of view.

Thanks for taking the time to read what I have written and for stopping by my website! I appreciate your interest in what I am doing. Keep coming back! I post every day, and I am actively working on my memoir. Follow me through the entire writing process, as well as what it takes for me to get this book published in the end.

Thanks again and take care!

Sincerely, R. Kline

PS: The image at the top of this post is one I took when I was riding through the woods, just as it was getting dark. I was going out to see if the drones, which were following me around at that time, would show themselves somewhere where there was no electric and no way to explain them away. I needed to either confirm or disprove their existence, and I needed to do it quickly.

Won’t you please join me for that ride?
