Creativity can definitely survive a brain haemorrhage. I wrote a novel before I got ill and post tbi I'm now writing a sequel

really realy admire writers esp as some***(not all to be fair....i have known v good doctors who were very humane and mean a great deal to me and others) some doctors are such literalists....omg they get upset5 if someone uses a metaphor.....whereas really good writers......take u anywhere....its amazing skil ane gift....like musi to me ..i cant sing a note so i really admire it5....thanks.
