I grew up in a home with an alcoholic father, and I wanted to tell the story about what it felt like as a child. But I didn't want to write a memoir. I wanted to create a realistic family that could be anyone's family really. I am happy with the outcome. As a writer, I got to choose the ending I wanted.

Just write to please yourself. If you publish, great. If you don't, then share it with anyone you know who might want to read it.

Having people tell me that they appreciated my words--that they felt the same way too, but couldn't express it.

I give into it and go enjoy another activity. I can't ever force myself to write.
