I Suffer Hypergraphia So You Don’t Have To
Actually, no, but I thought that title would grab your attention.
Anyway, I was reading JD’s blog, specifically her post “I Am a Readhead so you don’t have to be.”
In it, she mentioned famous redheads. Three of which I’ve actually heard of. And, that led me to look up Vincent van Gogh (no, he wasn’t #4–he was one of the three I knew!) on Wikipedia. After all, I was curious as to why he cut off his ear. (Read the entry to find out for yourself!)
Anyway, that led me to Hypergraphia, which is “an overwhelming urge to write.”
Clearly, I do not suffer from this. Else, I’d be posting five times a day. Like I nearly did before…
As a blogger, it would seem that hypergraphia would be something good to have. Well, until you find out that it is associated with manic and bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and frontotemporal dementia, which are all things I’m sure most of us prefer not to have.
At any rate, I just found it interesting that there is such a thing and thought I would share it with all my fellow near-hypergraphs. 
Hey, thanks for the link!
And very interesting post. I’ve never heard of hypergraphia and certainly never knew Van Gogh suffered from it. I would’ve thought he had hyper-paintia, if anything.
And I wish I could say I had hypergraphia so you don’t have to, but I don’t either. My posts are probably too long, but that stems more from a reluctance to edit than it does overzealousness!
Maybe you have editophobia?
