Today's chapter update is Chapter 6! And I figured that I would blog, which is basically a fancy author's note this time around.
Fun, fun! I'm glad I can keep this sort of thing out of the way so that people can enjoy the chapters and not be bogged down by notes.
Chapter 6 features Noa visiting his psychiatrist.
Fragmented is a work of fiction so it should be clear that this is not real or legitimate medical advice. Also, keep in mind the story's place and time period (2004). A lot of things have changed in nineteen years. If you need medical advice, please seek assistance from a healthcare professional.
A bit of my own personal experience was infused as well. I guess you could say that I "wrote what I knew".
I saw a councillor when I was failing in school. I was uncooperative, but my avoidance strategy was smiling and saying that everything was fine. The councillor would ask, "Is there anything your want to talk about?" and I would reply with a happy, "Nope!"
I was a stubborn kid. But then, I guess that's to be expected. I'm an oni, after all. 👹
I always wanted to be a good student and dreamed of good grades, but I usually barely passed anything. I even failed my creative writing class with an amazing 49%
That's far behind me, but still...being the guy to fail creative writing by a single percent point...
I guess this just goes to show; don't give up on the stuff you love.
