Thankfully I knew it wasn't a masterpiece, although many 'limericks' are often tongue in cheek. Schizophrenia is such a varied disease, and the latin word breaks down to split mind.
Got a tip for us?

Can I suggest an additional section to 'special interests'

It does indeed refer to split mind yes but I think it would be very unlikely for someone with a psychosis to have two separate identities. It's usually associated with delusion. And yes of course it is very varied, from mild psychosis, to full blown Schizophrenia. And even the latter has many forms.
Let's not forget, that writing isn't only about the published book, magazine, or copy, but also includes screenwriting for TV, and Movies. Apple is the home of some of the most advanced writing software out there; Scrivener, Ulysses, and Final Draft. Let's also not forget song writing as a sub-section of the art.
I believe things that are left to grow organically, without being 'over watered' last the longest. A little bit of spreading the seed, so to speak, in other parts of the forums wouldn't hurt. Although as I write that, I am minded, that it might be 'rule breaking' to go off topic in other sub forums/threads etc. Maybe a mod will come along and guide us best.
Just looking through the community discussion page, and note that there is 4 threads which would come under a 'writing' sub heading. One of which has been going for nearly 15 years, and has over 10k replies, and a 797k views!
I'd add "YA - Young Adult" - as well, given that the division that used to exist between books written for children, and those aimed at adults is a lot less stark these days, and that this sub-section has quite a distinct profile, as well as a lot of readers. More to the point, I would not be surprised to learn that quite a number of the members of MR also fall into this category (YA - in other words, the world of teens).
Just wanted to link this directly related post in another thread for anybody here who doesn't read both threads regularly:
Are we getting ahead of ourselves? I think the first objective is to attain a sub thread on writing, and then just let the various threads evolve. I did a search of MR, and there are quite a lot of writing based conversations, some that didn't get far, and others that have done well.
Someone suggested that there might not be a lot of aspiring writers within MR, but we won't know until we give them an opportunity to thrive. Add to that, I might attract the passing visitor, who might them become an active user.
No, I don't think that we are, not least given the demographic of many of those online.
What do you envisage? Like the OP, I'd just like to see a Writing Section, and then others choose what threads to fill it with.
Not sure if AI needs to "enter the chat" here either, and how to address it?
Or has that gift-horse already left the post-truth twenty-first century barn?
EDIT: I do see now posts #7-10 that did mention about potential AI issues.
