I didn’t get as much writing done last week as the week before, but I did finally finish chapter three, told through Avril’s voice.Over 2000 words, in fact, I’m probably going to have to pare it down.

For months before I started plotting, I was researching the subject of LGBTQ, particularly how it affects kids living on the streets. But most of what I’d found was about gay, lesbian, or transgender and when I tried applying any of this to Avril, I wasn’t satisfied, as I’ve written about before.

Thankfully I found a blog by someone who, like Avril, also doesn’t want to completely transition to female and it has been helpful, I think. Here’s a small bit of the chapter. This feels more authentic than my first post, don’t you think? I hope so.
