Writing as a tool for coping
by: LLS from Buffalo

Hi Tina. I am glad you realised that writing saved you from so many overwhelming days. Writing has been a tool for me to cope since I was in 5th grade. Most of what I wrote was fiction then. if my parents would have read any truthful accounts of our household activities I would have been whipped. I filled many journals which I still have. I have been writing an autobiography since 1991. I realized I wanted it to be read with a different perspective so I am going through the pain of re-writing everything. Also, Darlene is a writer and I bet she feels the same way we do. I write comments to some contributors not all. But when do I write from somewhere deep within my soul that I cant explain. The truth I need to say to you is that maybe I was meant to read your story. I think maybe I am here to tell you to write a book to help kids, like teenagers for some strange reason. I don't know where these thoughts come from I just put them down when my heart is open. My book is written in chapter form but each chapter is a different topic like an essay. It's really fulfilling. I cant believe how well I put things sometimes. I love re-reading the stories and fixing them so they convey what's in my head. Only you can do this. Of all the people on this whole planet, you are the only person who can write your story the way it is. Only one person, you. it does help people to read that others have problems. I think your book would be a great seller and give kids a reason to put it down into words. I did a lot of poetry too and still do now. I have a story on this site from LLS of Buffalo and one in the story of healing from LLS if you want to read them. Also, if you feel moved by anything I've said, read a lot of books because that makes your writing better. Good job posting this. I think you're the first one who wrote about writing. Best wishes, LLS :)
