To PWS and addicts mainly. WOULD YOU READ (listen) TO THIS HYPOTHETICAL BOOK? (I am am PWS and addict of my whole remembered life) Synopsis: a baby boy is born 1983,(he has 2 younger sister not long after him) (I believe from love, non biologically speaking) soon it is realized he has a stutter, also it is soon noticed his talent for art. Boy grows, has for the most part a happy childhood up until he is 13 and his mother and father divorce. His Mother and Father both having decently level heads and never having drank or done drugs around him, having done nothing more than have several arguments (never even physical)(to my knowledge) around him, decide that Mom will have primary custody as Dad has been an over the road truck driver most all his life. Even after this his Mom and Dad were and continue to be rocks and cornerstones in his life but as he becomes and teenager and man he becomes a tattoo artist at 17 officially, licensed yada yada. He also becomes an addict.He is always a person who stutters to this day. This day he he 40, soon to be 41. In the last month he (so I hope) and with the help of his wife (whom is a literal saint, in my opinion) has overcame finally, his addiction, mainly to drinking and methamphetamine, but over the years he done and been on everything at some point. Does or can I ask...does anyone think this is an idea for a decent book? Or am I blowing smoke up my own ass and need to sit down? DONT TAKE IT EASY ON ME, TELL ME IF IM RETARTED AND THIS IS HORRIBLE IDEA. ANY AND ALL THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS WELCOME.
