Not a new writer...been writing on and off since I was 10 years old and I'm 58. Never published but would like too but that's a bit scary. My writing is very personal to me. I have a lot of stories in my head. Currently working on something that would be Young Adult I guess. It involves child abuse, eating disorders, a lot of drama. I'm using 2 main characters whose story lines intersect periodically until they completely mesh. I'm exploring if two damaged people can truly find happiness together or does their past destroy any happiness. At this point I'm not sure how it will end. I tend to write and let the story point the direction.
