Me too, actually. I have a rough outline in my head and nothing more.

Considering your response to my first question, I'll assume that you do not wish to discuss potential improvements to the professional understanding/treatment of mental illness and that you are primarily concerned with educating the public on the current professional understanding. Do i have this right?
I can't help doctors understand mental illness any better, but I think what I have to offer is a reminder to law enforcement that the mentally ill population, while sick, is still just a group of people.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this...
I feel a kinship with sick people, as I'm sick myself. If my kin hurts another, I may not feel responsible for the harm, but I still feel like I can do some good. I have a message of peace, particularly aimed at law enforcement that I believe may help remind them that we're all just people. Some may have badges and guns, neither of which I have, but on some level we're still just people. I wish to reach the humanity in their hearts with my words.
