Author Notes.

Hello,

I am Erasmus. I am a woman, and a mother.

And this is part of my study in writing.

Perhaps I should begin with why I started writing.

Somewhere in the process of pregnancy and motherhood, I lost my way back to literature.

Since then, I've struggled to finish what I read.

Reading was once the thing I cherished most.

And yet, I lost it.

Perhaps it's hormonal.

Perhaps it's the lack of time.

Or perhaps my mind simply adapted to constant multitasking.

My focus fractured.

Images began to come more easily than language.

That may be why I no longer enjoy reading the way I once did.

So this is my therapy, alongside other changes like reducing my time on social media and practicing minimalism.

I write to rebuild my connection to literature.

To find my way back to it.

I'm writing for focus. For attention. For recovery.

I write the way I remember reading when I was younger.

I write for myself.

I'm 37, and no longer have the patience to cater to expectations. I may not always respond to messages or react.

Forgive me.

If you come across my work and find it slow, or old-fashioned, that is intentional.

If you happen to enjoy it, it would be my pleasure. I hope my writing offers you some quiet, and perhaps a little meaning along the way.

And if you don't,

well,

I don't mind.

May you find your peace on other pages, in other sentences, in words crafted by another.

Sincerely,

-E.R.M.-

P.S. English is not my first language, so there will certainly be mistakes.

And because this was a study. The work might changes from time to time as I made corrections.
