When you said, "Don't drag in the bad from the fake world outside," (I don't know how to quote here. Is it the restack option?) it made me think of the huge surge of books about pandemics that we had during and after the COVID pandemic. I get that it's a way for people to process, but fiction is such a sacred space for me that it clashes in my brain.

Do you know (you probably do) that your brain actually functions differently when you write by hand?

I am not sure either how to cite - but the restack option will post the post on your own substack as a restack... weird language here ;)

This whole text is an attempt to mix prose and poetry, real and imagined, and it doesn't much more than the words themselves - the extented meaning is for you to decide. Hence, "your space". Fictitious Scripts is the corner of A Rich Life where the emotional writing fits in, so that we have it encapsulated and under control... emotions can have a tendency to run wild :)

About handwriting. Yes, I know. The pen mentioned is a hint to use the brain differently, to produce different texts. I do believe, though, that we can trick the brain into this mode, especially if we are left-handed like me. But otherwise, a pen is a writer's best friend.

Very interesting! So you have a left-handed superpower? I studied a bit the effects of being able to read cursive or not during college and it's really interesting, too.
