@Vintage_Sky true, love :'(. They did make fun of my ethnicity once. (How my 'people' have oily hair, our cultural functions are bland, etc etc). Cut ties with them for life.
@Vintage_Sky I will suggest you to write about one chapter before going to work, probably very early in the morning when the mind is still refreshed. Or you could write half a chapter each day. By the time you realize, you might have written a whole book if you do this continuously.
The worst part of having any mental struggle is when your own family make fun of it, presenting it to the world in the hopes that the person get better and 'comes out of that phase'. To those who have experienced this firsthand, I see you.
