Hey. π
I am Juansen Ryne J. Dizon π

I am a suicide attempt survivor.Β π
Iβm still in the soft process of healing.Β π
Iβm a dreamer who spends his days in solitude, growth, and survival. π

Juansen, question and idea. Question and request favor first. Did you click all the way through to the article itself? It seems the promo wordpress blog was too long, gave the story away and many people didn’t get the gist of it or the joke, especially on facebook. Could you help me out and do that? I’ll give you the link.
Ok, your’re a writer. My publication, bphope.com, the digital wing of the quarterly print publication ‘Bipolar Magazine” …they have a sister publication called “Esperanza.” I don’t know that much about it except they are looking for bloggers. It’s dedicated to anxiety and clinical depression. If you are interested I’ll find out who is in charge. Being a blogger is unpaid, but it’s a good way in the door to getting a feature story in the actual magazine and getting paid.
I used to get paid for my writing in the 90’s,……short local pieces 45 and national pieces 150.00
Recently I wrote a one off for NewLifeOutlook Bipolar *(they have a community for depression) I think and they paid 75.00.
link…if you could click and give me a one word response

What would be a better title?No one seemed to get the joke.

I would write for free but I have no articles in mind yet. I’ll contact you once I have an article ready. And I’m okay with rejections.
And about the article.
I just got the point I think. It’s about disliking top 10 lists for bipolar stories.
I think the title is okay. It has mania in it. I can’t find another word that rhymes with mania.
And I can’t seem to think of a better creative title since all my article ideas are quite generic.
Looking at the comments section people actually enjoyed your post π

I’m curious about your mental illness romance novel–does it have a happy ending, I hope? You’ve encouraged me to think about a similar project, so I wish you much success. It’s very difficult, having a mental illness. It does birth plenty of writing (mostly poetry, for me–I’ve not completed my novel in progress)–but it’s left me no choice but to be a recluse. I’m not unhappy–but it’s not the life I dreamed of when I was young (I’m 63). Anyway, God bless you in all areas of your life.
