It's my true life story.

(view spoiler)[I've always been co-dependent and figured if I could find it in myself to write my story, I would, one day, not need to depend on others. I initially wrote out of fear. My mother had died of cancer and my father was dying of cancer as I wrote the book. I also really had the urge to talk to someone that couldn't talk back or judge me, that made it easy to write.

Quit saying you need someone else to write your story. I never knew I was a writer, until I wrote a book. Stories are told best by the people that own them.

Knowing for a moment in time, I will take you on a ride. I will bring you into a world, that for the longest time, I was all alone in.

Its hard. I force myself to write and go off onto a tangent that nearly drives me crazy, then I read my work and delete it. I then cry and walk away and relax, try to watch movies, drink wine, listen to music, smoke creativity inducing marijuana, then eventually give up and I pray. When my work isn't forced and flows easy, I know its gold. It eventually comes when I am willing to let go of control and I feel my lowest. I am my most creative at my lowest.
