I am excited to share with you all the new edited edition of my first completed short story! I would be honored if you could help me out by reading it and giving feedback, so that I can continue to grow as a writer. https://www.wattpad.com/story/139909391
This story started as a fun project: an origin story for my ENGL 2010 course project. It meant nothing, but as I began my first edits I realized that it could be so much more. I realized that my monster was incredibly similar to depression, which I have been battling alone for several years. At that moment I decided to fundamentally change my story from a dark horror story with a depressing ending into a message of hope. A sign to everyone out there suffering from depression that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Throughout the years, as I sat in my bed, I felt utterly alone and abandoned. I felt like no one understood what I was going through and that I couldn't talk to anyone about it. Much like Tomas, I met someone who showed me how wrong I was. They gave me the strength that I needed to speak up and get the help I needed, and that is what I have tried to do here. You don't have to do it alone! There are others who know what you are going through and they will not turn you away if you talk to them. https://www.wattpad.com/story/139909391
