Enjoyed reading snippets of Rupi Kaur's poetry. As a writer, this is power:

“our backs

tell stories

no books have

the spine to

carry”

Congratulations on your last memoir essay, and thanks for sharing part of your process through the process of automatic writing. I am a fan of Julia Cameron's AW. I recently reread, after twenty-something years. Because I also enjoy the classics, I discovered automatic writing, known as morning pages, which originated in Dorothea Brande's 1934 book, "Becoming a Writer." I hesitate to use originate, it's possible to trace that thread to another source as you did so well.
