D.I.D and what it means to me

Confession time; Instead of doing work, I researched a mental illness. But come on, we've all been there, yeah? Here's the thing. DID (Used to be known as MPD, until it got reclassified) Is a beautiful disorder that I have spent the pleasure of researching for the last few days.

 Okay that's a lie, and I apologize. 

 You see, I wanted to write a mystery novel involving kids. Not sure how it's gonna work out though, I mean, how? There is so many flaws in a plot like that! Why just kids? How just kids? When? Where? How? Etc etc etc. Bottom line is, I wanted to make my characters diverse. 

  So we got a crime, kids and a need for a mental illness.  .  . Oh come on! You can't say that you didn't see it too! A crime!? What's a better scapegoat then a kid with alters? It's genius! A kid without anti-physc pills and bam! You got your perfect red herring.

  Yes, I know. 'Really Storm? You're using a actual mental illness-one of which you don't suffer from and don't know anything about besides research on the internet-for a book? Worst of all, your using it for the scape goat?'

Hear me  out though!

  It isn't him, and this is a perfect oppurtunity to spotlight it for what it is. Yeah I know, just put the noose on already, but I think it sounds great. Beam me up scottie!

Alright, Alright...So I wanna do DID in this book and I'm a liiiitle afraid of it. I just don't want to get anything wrong! If I mess up on it, that's not just a egg on my face. That's a sign that says 'Cis, white male, sigular' Which is something I don't want to be. (Namely cause I'm not buuuuut, well get into that another time) 

Regardless, I need opinions here people. WHAT DO I DOOOOOO?

Follow my passions and somewhat hallucinatic dreams to this crazy idea?

Or

Follow logic and step back from something I can't  experience.

SIGH, the trivials of being ME
