Quote from Gloria Rising (The Wounded Child, pages 3-4).

“Interestingly, her automatic handwriting was like chicken scratch because her hand flew across the page while writing in trance. Similarly, intense fears and mental pressure would sometimes cause her writing to become almost illegible. At one point, she actually switched from a medium to a fine point pen, so I might better understand her writing. She often used em-dashes instead of punctuation to avoid impeding the flow of her traumatic memories, thoughts, and emotions. I chose not to edit her automatic writing for style, grammar, or punctuation so you could fully appreciate the raw and graphic power of her written word.

Moreover, the task of typing her handwritten letters was, at times, perplexing and taxing for me. Occasionally, I would painstakingly stare at a word or phrase with a magnifying glass for long periods of time as if Sherlock Holmes looking for a cryptic clue, before I could decipher its meaning from the blur of misshapen letters. Nevertheless, I vowed to transcribe her automatic writings precisely to reveal the depth of terror and agony she suffered and her epic struggle to heal and become whole.”
