Some of your classmates sound truly horrific! I can't believe people would actually take your work and throw it out...people can be so cruel when confronting things they just don't understand, or want to get to know.<br /><br />Most people I've known haven't been too bad...I don't advertise my writing (though most people know I write well after having to listen to me babble in English class), but in middle school a lot of people found out about my novels. I still get emails from old classmates sometimes, asking if they've been published. I had no idea people had remembered, or even taken it a little bit seriously. I hate having to tell them "no, not yet."<br /><br />I don't let my family read my writing, though. My mom's a psychologist and I'm a little worried about what she might say after spending sometime inside my head. ;)Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950629760060046846noreply@blogger.com
