Hand me a draft manuscript: within minutes, I can generally tell you exactly how the author responds to acute stress. The signs manifest on the page in consistent, predictable, unfortunate ways.
Oh wow. I read this right after therapy, so it especially resonated with and gutted me! I found that the authors I most connect with were among the offenders in my same fear-response type. It was a kindness to get to the end of that series of gut punches and find myself in a group of authors I admire, so thank you for that. Loved this post, and I will be sharing it with my therapist!
I loved this and I LOVED the author examples.
busted.
This freeze-prone writer found this very helpful, thank you! 🥶🙏
This resonated; I read it twice. Also, does anyone know how to find a therapist who specializes in writers? :-D
Fabulous!
What a great article! I'm honored to be with my fellow freezers.

This is the reply of a fellow fawner and I am grateful for it 😭
Dammit I knew you’d catch me. Fellow Fawn freezer in fact. Delightful wreck that I am.
