"Do you ever envision your life as a movie... little clips...shots...scenes that are brought to life in your memory by sound, light...something? Do You ever hear a song and it brings you right back to a scene from your existence...a moment in time in the film called YOU?   Last episode I shared a creative writing technique/exercise with you that I did with my students called 'Create A Soundtrack to YOUR Life!' Today I will share an excerpt from 'Dear Prudence' that exhibits the onset of mental illness in childhood through the confused eyes of Ana guida, one of the main characters from the my novel (below).  The retrospective letter will be coupled with music selections.  PLEASE TRY THIS AT HOME!"  Join Amanda Grieme, Author of "Dear Prudence," English/Creative Writing Educator.Check out Amanda's debut novel "Dear Prudence" at http://www.eloquentbooks.com/dearprudence.html Despite Mental Illness, You TOO can LIVE!
