Silenced background
THE REASON FOR SILENCED BY RAEBETH MCGEE-BUDA
When I began writing Silenced I didn't intend for it to become a novella. Originally Silenced was a high school writing assignment that one day I decided to add on to. Here is where the idea came from.
I suffer from depression and anxiety but most don't take it serious. I went through a dark time in my life where cutting was present. At the time I felt like no one understood or even cared. This is where passion and my drive came into writing Silenced. It was time to make people aware.
I wanted to give a way for all to understand depression and cutting. What better way then through some sort of entertainment?
The goal of Silenced is to help those who feel alone or unable to voice what's wrong... find that their not alone or to help give the words needed. I didn't publish Silenced because I want to make money from writing. I want to help.
I've already got messages from a few people thanking me for writing Silenced and for putting it out there. People need to be more aware and more understanding. I'm hoping this is what I can do with Silenced.
