RE: Go *$%@ Yourselves! (An Inspirational Post)
This is great, and there are so many who never realize that those oppressive voices are not really their own. It's too bad your first book was lost, the only consolation I can think of is that it wasn't really written by you, and you would probably have to rewrite the whole thing anyway if you saw it now.
Actually, the first book is far more of a loss to me than the second one, which is the one I was referring to near the end there when I realized I wasn't writing for myself. The first one, when I was still a kid...I would Love to see what my thirteen year old self had written. I remember the premise, but I really would love to read it now.
I actually still have the second book, the one that began as a fantastic idea and was corrupted. And I would have to rewrite a lot of it, you are exactly right on that score. I play with the notion sometimes :)
It would be cool to see what you wrote before breaking the programming by that other book, and considering that your parents never read it, it could have been edgy stuff from the 13 year-old you.
I actually recall thinking that I didn't want mom and dad to read it, ha. It was during a time of raging hormones, and while intercourse was not yet on my radar there was definitely sexual tension and an insight into my sexuality that would end up being suppressed for years to come (this I know from a couple of scenes from it that still remain vivid in my mind)
