Hello, this is Eye.nonymous. My real name is Elyah.
I"m new to Dov's group. I haven't made the calls yet, but Dov has caught me up through E-mail. I sent him a message about this writing assignment, and he suggested I post it here:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dov,
Before I went to bed I stopped to read through your message. I appreciate your summary. I thought I’d follow your instructions and write out a little of my list history before going to bed. I just kept on writing and kept on writing. I kept at it for a couple of hours and wrote about 11 or 12 pages. If some form of acting out was ongoing, I figured it was sufficient to write, “about once a week” instead of writing down “probably Jul 12 ’89, Jul 19 ’89, Jul 15 ’89, etc, etc, etc.” I wrote down incidents as I remembered them, and often out of order. It’s definitely coherent, but not exactly an organized autobiography, and I was wondering if this was necessary. I hand-wrote it, and I see what you mean; feels like I’m tapping into something more personal, less technical, than when I’m punching away at the keyboard. I was wondering what I should do with it now.

Afterwards, I decided it was worth it to type this thing up and get it more-or-less organized. I sent it to Dov for review to see if he thinks it is appropriate for the forum.
