Abstract

I can call home.Lately, an idea for an article comes to mind and I put the title and some thoughts on a new draft. When the rest of the inspiration comes, which is usually in the morning hours, I sit myself down and write the rest.In full disclosure, sometimes it will take several mini-bursts of inspiration to get a piece written.You see, my ideas don’t come flowing in like many of yours probably do in one sitting.

My name is Kim and I have ADHD.

If I were sitting in a circle with y’all to discuss when it started, it would probably resemble a 12-step meeting.

All I know is that my whole life has been an epic fail when it comes to anything that requires organization, namely raising a family, running a household, business and relationships.

But ever since I started writing here on Medium in September of this year, I feel like it is the One Place where I can call home.

Lately, an idea for an article comes to mind and I put the title and some thoughts on a new draft. When the rest of the inspiration comes, which is usually in the morning hours, I sit myself down and write the rest.

In full disclosure, sometimes it will take several mini-bursts of inspiration to get a piece written.

Not to mention the editing process that is almost OCD-like until I feel like it’s right. Then many of these may follow until what I felt was right before becomes even better.

There are times when I will set up several drafts for future pieces that way.

It helps me not feel so overwhelmed and allows me to get the articles out as I can.

And when I push Publish, it feels like I’ve accomplished such a huge feat!

Anyway, I feel like Medium is truly my happy place where my best self is displayed.

My readers don’t know that my brain looks like the mother of all chaos; all they see is the finished product.
