I love writing about my youth. And am working on a story of 2nd grade hijinx.
I wonder if the comparison is true?
It's impossible for me to imagine kids not sneaking out on adventures.
So many here in Chicago do. You see them past midnight at the beach or hanging out at the Weiner Circle. The narrative is there's a tighter leash but the reality might be, they are simply safer because they can easily call home.
If anyone reading this also writes about their youth, and feel like it didn't get enough attention. Lmk and I'll check it out.
But to end this too long comment, I was engaged with the story. And i loved the drawing. I hope you make them a regular part of your written work.
