It wascaused by a car accident. I was in physical recoveryfrom the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up.I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment.I dont want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also dont want toglossmy reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, Im still a work in progress. Im not perfect. Like all of us, Im doing the best I can. Making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myselflying on the floor.What happened next? I started writing.There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. The depression started to lift. I started to feel like myself again.After completing a four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didnt know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the internet.And so here we are. The day before the release of the book. Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. But thats not my real motivation. I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.If the story provides this to just one person, Ive done my job.21. What does the underlined word “gloss” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Face. B. Cover.C. Expose. D.
