The Little Black Book

"OMG, Skye! Your book is sooooooo good. I knew you could do it", read one of many Facebook comments in a post I was tagged in. Immediately, my stomach started to knot. I'd been writing mini-memoirs since the sixth grade. At this point after writing for so long, my little composition notebook was so raggedy, the white splotches from the original print were also black with pen marks. What's going on? What are these people talking about? Who tagged me!? I'd just gotten off of the Greyhound, I'd previously sworn to never go back on, and I hadn't reunited with my folks in Chicago yet. Oh my goodness, I can only imagine what my people are saying!
