Story Time!

Here it is, your Story Time for January! It took me a long time to decide on the right story from the graveyard of broken stories, but at last, I settled on this brief glimpse if Tantrum.

Ooooooooh Tantrum. Reader, this book has been in my bones for A THOUSAND YEARS. I first came up with these characters and their story in 2008 (goodness me, 2008!). In the days before Stranger Things, this Girl, Interrupted meets a crew of angry Elevens story was my baby. I wrote them to apply for my MA program, I wrote them through my MA program, and stopped and started a thousand iterations of them since.

I know these characters like family.

I know their story, beginning, middle and end.

And I can't figure out how to tell it.
