Daniel
Beckie, I've added Converting Kate to my to read list.


Meaghan Thanks for your comments on my stories! I wrote 6:15 on a Saturday Night when I was 14 years old. I'd quit going to school and spent an entire year cooped up in my parents' house in the middle of nowhere, almost never going out, trapped in a very bad depression. I wrote that story trying to capture my state of mind at the time.
