UPDATE: APRIL FOOLS! The tattoo is not real. It was a
temporary tattoo, red marker, and a plausible backstory.
So as many of you know, I'm writing a novel inspired by my experience with mental illness. I am writing it for Shayna, and it tells the story of a younger sister whose older sister suffers from Bipolar and her attempt to reconcile the wonderful memories from memories their childhood together to the dark road that the older sister, Prudence, is headed down. The novel's working title is "Call Me Crazy", and details the younger sister, Cecilia's, journey cross country to go and "rescue" her sister from the hospital/center she has been living at for the past seven months. Lots of plot twists as well along the way. I thought I'd share one of my favorite sections with you all, titled "Career Day". It is also the inspiration for my recent foot tattoo. Shayna will be getting a corresponding tattoo when she turns 18.
