Hypergraphy

Hypergraphy is a big word that means someone really, really, really likes to write.

You know how you might like to color or play with toys a lot? Well, hypergraphy is like that, but with writing!

Hypergraphy means a person feels a really strong urge to write all the time. They might write so much that they forget to do other things like eat or sleep.

It's kind of like when you really love to draw and you can't stop drawing. Sometimes you might even draw on everything like the walls or your clothes. That's what hypergraphy is like, but with writing instead of drawing.

Some people who have hypergraphy can use their love for writing to make really amazing stories or books. But sometimes, it can also be a problem if it gets in the way of doing other things.
