Sorry to hear you have had to deal with the hallucinations as well. I'm glad it doesn't happen often to me. My sister has schizophrenia, so I can only imagine what she has to deal with.
My writing is going really well, thank you for asking.
And the party isn't over, it's always going on here.

What kind of stuff do you write? I'm mainly a visual artist now, but also write. I was a pro drummer for a lot of years but not anymore.
Thanks. I played my whole life until I got a bit sick. It's bitter sweet to think about now. I still play some guitar, but only to write songs, sometimes. I can't really "play" guitar.
I've written a lot of short stories and poetry. They are all gritty and sad I guess. Hardly been published really. Super small presses. Nothing to speak of. I go through phases where I'll submit, but then I get discouraged and quit for a while. I don't get that way about art though; I do that for a living and can't quit.
Where have you been submitting? I put a few articles up on Medium before. A couple anyway. And they have a few rags there. I don't know what kind of stuff you write, but I could maybe suggest stuff.

I tried to learn acoustic guitar and keyboard, but kind of gave up on that. May give it a try again one of these days.
Some of my stuff is sad as well..any poetry I've written in the past 10 years or so definitely fits in that category. I have submitted my stories to a visual story app, and they seem to be doing well so far. I can make money if they get enough views.

A visual story app sounds pretty new-fangled to me. I don't even know what that is. I don't keep up with what's new and fun anymore. But an app sounds cool. I was never really trying to make money on the writing since I know my shit is such a niche market. It has a kind of Bukowski meets Miranda July vibe, and maybe some Vonnegut in there. I'm just guessing. It probably just comes across like sucky crap to most. I didn't go to school or anything.
That's how I feel about visual art. Well, I don't care or get hurt when people don't like it because it's so personal and I don't do any realism. It's not for everyone. If people like it, great. If they don't, I can't control it, so it's no use getting upset about it. Wish I could apply that to writing.
