@thesheepsheadraces Thank you lol. My bday’s tomorrow, but this means a lot

@thesheepsheadraces Well I’m glad you did, then people will listen. I’m glad you called it out:)

@iwantaferret_  100% I just thought we should open up a conversation especially with the bigger authors

@thesheepsheadraces I totally understand that. It’s an important topic to discuss, but it doesn’t really create a safe space for readers to speak without it being “lol yeah me too” which just isn’t cool. If it’s written about, I think it should a part of a the plot as a way to see who the character is and how what they’re dealing with is reflected upon how they see their life rather than something that happened once and is breezed past. A lot of what is being written about is traumatic, and it never comes up again. It’s written like someone’s falling off of a bike.
            
            That also gauges the importance of warnings, and actively encouraging safe spaces or telling someone you trust about what you’re thinking and going through. Instead of awareness, it’s creating a vicious cycle, one that’s really impressionable for younger readers. These are topics that can’t be written like a second hand account of what happened; it has to be written from a personal point of view from the character, and many kids can’t achieve that.

It's fine how have you been?
