I love this blog. A number of other YA authors have posted letters to their teen selves. Mine is a little gritty and raw and I thank Cheryl Rainfield, the author of SCARS, for giving me the courage to write this. I can't help but think how much a letter like this would have helped me during my darkest moments.
If you could, what would you write to your teen self?
Now there's a concept. Although there are days when I think I had it more together as a teen. Honest. Would my teen self be aghast at who I am as an adult???
ReplyDeleteA touching letter, Kim.
ReplyDeleteMy teen self was shy and nieve and I'd tell her to be braver.
