It was interesting that as I wrote, I was also getting pelvic floor physiotherapy for the first time. My body took an enormous amount of damage in delivery, (forceps damaged my cervix and pelvic floor, internal stitching gone wrong needed re-doing later, plus my uterus didn’t clamp down and I was bleeding out, the story goes on…). I had massively dissociated from it, so 26 years later I was getting in touch emotionally through writing, and reconnecting with my body at the same time. Not easy, but yes, it was healing. I’m seeking an agent for my novel now. It’s a delightful fantasy exploring identity and innocence, power and love, called The Elementist.
Oh my, I want to read your Novel was it healing for you to write?
I am sorry so sorry for the what a fuckernuckle system did to you.
Yes tell more of these stories.
