A writer’s job, much like a therapist, to bring into the world the “unthought known”. Are we living in an atomised world cut off from the collective consciousness? Does it serve us or “them” in some way if we split off into our respective atoms to write from? Funny how maybe in this way, wokeness’ shadow is isolation and denial of the group and empathy. How dare a writer be empathetic enough to imagine being in someone else’s shoes? Writers do the work we are not willing to. Glad you are back doing “the work.” And desperately hoping whatever this response is, is not, well, not whatever. I guess everyone is open to attack when bothering to think a little. Bion was right.

Absolutely. To actualise and to be more real, and writing seems a good way to subvert the natal defences. Writing puts the brain in a different gear; I think this is what writers are addicted to, that sense, more even perhaps than the need to write stories. Thank you for your comment. All the best. Tom
