Hello again! This is James Williams, the person who periodically wrote at the College of Mythic Cartography who struggled with many internal forces regarding the E-Primitive/E-Prime/B-English debate.
I went on another journey of soul searching and took a side job as an assistant to a book editor. I have realized that although I enjoy writing and agree with many principles on the College of Mythic Cartography’s website, my autism made it difficult to cut out the verb “to be” from my writing. I felt as if I could not speak my voice, even though I never wanted to assert that my life and thoughts were static and unchanging.
So is it a sin to use the verb “to be,” even if it goes against many principles of the world? I find that I cannot speak my thoughts without using that word. And I share many thoughts within the autism community.
My hope is that in 2021, I will be able to finally attend the Rewilding conference as an attendee to share my experiences as a person with autism coming to terms with rewilding.
