I know I speak a lot about this book, as if it is going to actually happen, and it may piss you off, but it's something important to me. I know that it's probably not going to get published, but I enjoy the idea of it happening. It's something to focus on that makes me feel good, so I continue to do it. I'd rather try than just give up because i'm afraid of failing. That just isn't me. I just want to help young people with my writing, and maybe i'll be able to do it. I really hope i'm able to do it.

Having one of those weeks.
You ever have a period of time where it feels like everything in your life is up in the air? My thought processes are never fueled by one event, but a string of little occurrences adding up. The thing i'm most confused about is my writing. This is the one of the only things i'm truly passionate about, the thing that keeps me going; and I don't even know what i'm doing with it. I keep having to write for English and Journalism, and I want to do my best, but it's just so hard for me to switch from book-blog me, to school-writing me. School-writing me feels like a robot, and makes me feel like I can't do my best. I don't understand what adults want from my writing, and I overwhelm myself trying to figure it out. I'm so bad at switching gears. I'm not good at being anyone else but this writer me. The other one makes me uncomfortable. And I guess i'm supposed to have the natural ability to combine the two together, but I feel like I don't. All I want to do is write for the book, but i'm at a road-block as to what to write about. I also feel like I have this shitty biased opinion that no one can relate to. I feel like i'm going to write it and feel like no one is going to want to read it because I sound like a pompous jerk. I really need to eliminate that worry. So if you want to help me out(PLEASE), you can do this:
Ask for my e-mail and tell me about yourself. I'm just going to give you my e-mail so you can do it immediately;)Tell me as much or as little as you want,i'm truly interested. I need to hear about you guys, so I don't write about High School and being a teenager based on only my opinion. I wanted the book to be a way for me to meet people, but it's becoming clear to me that I need to meet people now, so I can make the book that much better. I know there are tons of interesting people out there, all of your stories are interesting, so don't doubt that. Tell me what grade you're in,what you've been through, your friends, your dreams, your struggles, LITERALLY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. I'd appreciate it more than anything,you don't understand. Pleasepleaseplease. I'm not going to publish these things anywhere, they're just for research and because I really like hearing about you guys. If you want it to be anonymous that's perfectly fine, or just tell me your twitter name(Because you probably found me from twitter) so I know who you are. Allisono08@yahoo.com
