My book is going to be very triggering in some places. I most likely won't go into that much detail if I can help it, but I may change my mind as the story goes on.
          	
          	I am writing it to be cathartic.  Some of this will be based off my own life experiences. 
          	
          	Obviously I wasn't sold into the Mafia for sex trafficking,  but I was raped by my father when I was 4. sold by my mother for drugs constantly. I was shared among their friends.
          	
          	When I was a little girl I was obedient.  I was a perfect little doll. In this story Aurora are who I wished I could be. I wish I was stronger and fought back, but honestly at the time it never even occurred to me. 
          	
          	So throughout this story there will be a lot of my truths. I have been waiting for some mental health help, but there are very very long wait lists.
          	
          	So I have taken it upon myself to try to get my thoughts and feelings and emotions out , so that maybe I can start to get some relief and breathe 
          	
          	Thank you all for your support.

Hey, I'm Amara. I hope you don't mind but I'd love for you to check out my book titled, Anomaly. It's a dystopian novel about Angels Demons and Nephilim. Do give it a read. Or not. No pressure but, you'd make my day a whole lot better if you did.

I have written two chapters of my very first story.
          
          It is very triggering. Especially for people who have experienced extreme trauma.  If it goes the way I want it to it will slowly become more about healing and overcoming everything. 
          
          Please feel free to give me lots of constructive criticism 
          
          Thanks

I am contemplating on attempting to write a story. I have absolutely no idea how you all manage to do this.
          
          I am struggling so much. I've downloaded apps to help brainstorm and come up with ideas. I actually have quite a few. Actually turning them into something worthwhile.. that is going to be a true struggle. 
          
          Currently I am using a thesaurus and a dictionary to try to describe things in as much detail as possible. 
          
          You are all frickin bad asses to be able to give me joy while reading.
          
          My depression and CPTSD are pretty horrific lately. My mind has finally started to feel safe enough to release buried repressed memories and they are hitting me all at once.  To be truthful I have absolutely no idea how I am able to cope.. so I thought i could try a distraction. 
          
          
          I want to thank all of you amazing talented writers for sharing your talent with me. I am truly grateful for allowing me to lose myself in all of your different worlds.

Thank you so much.
            
            I just wrote 2 random chapters. The book is going to be extremely triggering, but cathartic for me in the end.  I have many ideas it's just getting them down on paper and making it come across the way I want it to.
            
            Thank you for your encouragement

Awesome to hear that you’re giving writing an attempt. You can ask a group of writers how they do it and you’re going to get a varied bunch of contradictory answers. Some people thrive with planning, some with just writing off the top of their heads, some with a combo of both. If you keep at it you’ll figure out where you land.
            
            I really hope writing works as a distraction, and that things only get better for you going forward. <3
