Hi all,

I have seen another do a similar thing on here in the past ( I don't know if it is still active) but one of my coping strategies/self care tasks is writing.

I mostly writing how I feel but I also do short stories and novels.

This particular one I have worked on for six years and while not published it is three books and I am working on the fourth.

I am pretty certain it is not triggering as it is aimed at teens. 

So there are no adult scenes and while there are some deaths violence is minimal.

So first I'm going to ask @Former-Member if this is ok and then if so I will put up the first chapter.

My reasoning for doing this is I am considering getting it published but would like some feedback/ advice on what people think

Hi @Former-Member, 

How wonderful that you have written several books! Congratulations! Such a wonderful self care strategy 

Unfortunately it would be a guideline breach to post it on the forum as it may be identifying to other members.

I'm wondering if you might share it with family or friends for feedback? I'm sure that they would love to read what you have written
