Cartographink

Hi, I’m Tim, an experienced mental health worker and academic with a love for words, writing, performing, and editing. Cartography – mapmaking, and ink – the means to make the map. Writing is mapmaking for me. It helps me to chart my position, spot difficulties and figure out how to live with, avoid, or overcome them, to find my way through new territory, and get where I want to be.

As someone with ADHD, one of my traits is seeing the connections between things. If I know what’s out there, I can find routes between, through, over, under, and around obstacles. We all have those bits of our own personal maps where the legend “here be dragons” covers an expanse of unknown and perhaps scary terrain. It can be beneficial to chart these areas, making friends with the dragons (or discovering there are none), or making good our escape. Cartographink is here to help with this.
