The adrenaline from plotting and writing a story is addicting. I devoured stories as a kid, I study stories as an adult, and now I write stories of my own. As an only child, my characters are my brothers and sisters, and I want to give a better representation of mental health in storytelling. Something I think that is severely lacking at the moment but is getting better. If you decide to read my stories, hopefully, it will be a nice escape from the craziness that is life. Storytelling has been that escape for me, and I hope it can be for you too.
