On his sixth day in Ward 7B, Marcus was declared stable enough for discharge. Dr. Mitchell delivered the news during their morning session, his expression cautiously optimistic as he reviewed Marcus's chart and the notes from the nursing staff who'd been monitoring his sleep patterns, appetite, and general comportment.
"Your symptoms have responded well to the medication," Dr. Mitchell said, pen tapping against his clipboard in a rhythm that Marcus found oddly hypnotic. "The auditory hallucinations have diminished significantly, and you report that your perception has normalized. How do you feel about transitioning back to outpatient care?"
My goal behind receiving fan support is not just financial — though of course that helps me continue writing without as much worry about practical limitations — but also emotional and creative. Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, and fan support, whether it comes in the form of kind words, sharing my work, or even monetary contributions, tells me that what I create resonates with people. That support allows me to grow, to take risks in my writing, and to give more back to the community that believes in me. In simple terms: fan support keeps the cycle alive. I give my stories and my heart through words, and the encouragement I receive in return becomes the fuel that helps me keep going. Ultimately, my goal is not just to ‘receive,’ but to build a relationship. I want readers to feel that they are part of the journey — that when they support me, they aren’t just helping me write another chapter, they’re shaping the existence of the story itself.
