RE: Re: Katy/Gay and Esther

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much! I guess I should post my writing more often! Though alot of

it is dark stuff. I have been writing off and on since I was about 18 and even

wrote a " pro's " one time about suicide that my (at that time) Psychiatrist

(obviously writing about suicide I needed one....lol) had me sign a release so

that he could use it in therapy with his other patients. But I guess due to an

artistic personality I only seem to be inspired when I am sad or depressed. Like

I said though it is kind of a therapy because usually by the time I finish one I

feel alot better. I have hidden alot of my writing because it is so dark. But I

was told once I should go to school and be a journalist.......I have even been

considering it here lately. Anyway, thank you all you have made me feel really

good about my writing and I am grateful that you all enjoyed it!

Hugs,

Katy
