I think you'd be very brave to write you own story through another character. It would be very personal, and if you haven't come completely to terms with it it could be very difficult. However, I'm sure it would be beautifully written.
The second idea, because it's not experienced by you and research might have to be done on the disorder you choose ( my vote is schizophrenia , will need lots more creativity on your part. Which, from reading your stories, you have creativity .
I would like the Second story idea. but in the end, if you write the other, I'll most likely read it a love it.
I would read both of them. As far as knowing what it's like to be in a Mental Institute and having severe depression. I know where you're coming from. I'm still recovering from it.
Main Point: You should let me know when you decide to post them. I'll check out your other story too.
I've been missing reading your stories! Haven't been online lately. Oh, school. :)) Been a drag.
But I'm getting into the habit of reading again! (; Can't wait for these to come out.
