Extraordinary insight, Artistic expression??

"With TLE, I see things slightly different than before. I have visions and images that normal people don’t have.

We obviously have thoughts about other things! So let's feel free to express ourselves!! ..to write. Unless of course, you have Writing Epilepsy (a rare reflex syndrome in which seizures are triggered by writing). NocturnalPoet
