(THIS BOOK ISNT SOMETHING I'M ACTIVELY WRITING AT THE MOMENT. I'M PUTTING IT UP FOR MYSELF, SO DONT WRITE COMMENTS ABOUT UPDATES BECAUSE I HAVE NONE PLANNED CURRENTLY.)
Ashera turned 18 and thought that she had her future all planned out for herse...
This is a new side project. I'm making this one to create a book that encompasses invisible illnesses and twisting it in a way that I've always wished for. If you have an invisible illness you should understand.
It's a taxing and weighty thing to have an illness that no one can perceive as 'truth'. All they have is your word for it and half the time I feel crazy or that I'm losing my mind trying to make others understand why I can't do things like others can. It gets rather annoying having to repeat something to another that I feel is obvious. "No. I can't just walk outside of my house and walk to the mailbox by myself. I've told you repeatedly I have PTSD and Agoraphobia."
I've had to tell family almost every time they visit why I can't do something when they constantly repeat it. It's not that I don't want to do something but physically can't, even if that block isn't visible to the outside world.
Anyways, this is what this book is about except it's twisted with Fantasy. I've often found myself daydreaming that all my health problems are caused because I'm some sort of supernatural creature that isn't getting it's natural nutrients... if only.
So, I hope this better explains what I'm going for.
Asphera: She's 20 years old now so 2 years have passed since she found out she has an illness that will never go away. Instead of writing a detailed version of her, I've picked out an image.

You may ask 'Why is the MC so beautiful if the point is to be something we can relate to?'
It's precisely because of that, that I wanted my MC to be exceedingly beautiful. The thing about invisible illnesses is that you look completely CAPABLE of doing things yet you can't. I can't even tell you how many times I've had someone say 'But you don't look 'sick'' 😧😧😧
Then again I've also had someone ask me if being a lesbian means you don't have periods.. I'm not quite sure what to say about that last question honestly. .
Anyways, this is just a book I've been thinking about writing and don't know when I'll ever get around to it.
