(cont) completely and allow me to actually read again! something about your voice when writing just, like, keeps from getting snagged on any of the million things that can kill my reading comprehension, even in your wee precious flower prince geralt write ups. i just wanted to say THANK YOU, i enjoy your writing immensely, your stuff is allowing me to read more than i ever thought i could again and it’s bringing me a lot of joy when i need it!
Aw, thank you!!!
I can’t read as much as I used to either, so I totally feel you on this– I’m one of those people whose ADHD manifested in childhood by letting me hyperfocus on books but now that I’m grown I a) don’t have the time and b) have sort of decompensated under the pressures of adult life taking up so much brain all the time and feel like I’m overall dumber than I used to be so like. I know I’m surely nowhere near where you are but I definitely, concretely sympathize with the problem.
I am so delighted that this has worked for you, and thanks for telling me. :)
IDK if it’s gauche to answer this publicly, let me know if you didn’t want that, but I’m going to because it made me so delighted and also wasn’t something I’d really thought about so directly before in terms of readability and such. I’ve always wanted to have a kind of transparent style– like, I want people to remember the story not the language so much– so I’ve been trying to become sort of authorially invisible in the actual language as much as possible since I first started really paying attention to my own writing [sophomore English in high school! 1995, baby] but it’s interesting to consider it this way too. Thanks so much for writing to let me know!
