Penelope Douglas:
Have you even considered writing a romance novel with either the hero or heroine suffering from depression, eating disorder, or self harm?
Penelope Douglas
Hi, Reema!
I've actually never considered it, to be honest. I grew up with family members (grandma, mom, aunts) who suffered with depression and self-destructive behaviors, and it's just not a place I really want to revisit. Right now, anyway.
That's not to say I'll never go there, but I feel like a lot of my life and childhood was spent in those dark places, and I really want to explore new things now.
And there are probably things I don't want to dig up, either. Which means I probably SHOULD write about it, right? :)
Thanks for the question <3
