Your comment about "how much I wish I'd been better at keeping a diary" made me snort out loud in agreement. I think, sometimes, that's why I've become such a journaler. As I mine my life for clues to identity, I find that I wish I had more details about my young years. I found the book by Deena Metzger, Writing For Your Life, enlightening and helpful.
I like how you've connected that personal struggle for identity with your characters. I think it makes for more interesting reading. :)
And what a lovely story about you reading back on your old diary entries. And I love how you connected with your characters. I agree with Catherine, it definitely makes for more interesting reading!
