Stuck!

Often I have thoughts in my head that don’t have words that fit. I don’t think it’s the same as Aphasia, dysgraphia, or expressive disorder. I believe my mind explores the unknown.

Aphasia is a communication disorder that makes it hard to use words to communicate and is generally caused by brain damage. Dysgraphia is a disorder that makes it hard to write down your thoughts and expressive language issues describe a condition that makes it hard to speak the words associated with one’s thoughts.

The issue I am speaking about is when your thoughts or experiences don’t have an associated word. That means it’s time to create a new word. For example, I recently published a book called, A Step Back, where I added the word fantacity to my dictionary. I have many other thoughts that still need to be labeled.

When your faith in something or someone has held you caged so long that you are driven to insanity.

While I have experienced dysgraphia and expressive language issues in the past, I no longer have those issues. I have a lot to say and words to go with much of what I am thinking. My problem now is finding some good listeners—people with curiosity, questions, even arguments. I wrote books and blog posts expressing what I see, hear, and think about the past, present, and future. But nobody is responding.

Say something. I refuse to give up on you!
