Wanna help me with some research?

I'm posting this here because I think the people I need to poke for brainstorming read this blog rather than my writer's blog. 

In June I'm going to be starting work on a new young adult novel; the particulars I'm not discussing in type, but will if you want to know more.  It deals with religion, beliefs, the issue of free will, and the normal gamete of teen issues.  I'm interested in collecting personal stories that can inspire things that happen in the novel.  Funny, gritty, difficult - all of it.  I'm also interested in the really hard questions teenagers have about religion, beliefs, etc - and not just Christianity; please don't assume that the novel just deals with one belief.  The idea is satirical, think Lamb, and I want to address hard problems.  No, I don't want to answer everything, in fact I'd rather bring up issues and have the characters stumble through them and not always make the best choices - because hey - people mess up.

Anyways, if you want to contribute to my "research", comment here.  If you'd rather not comment publicly, you can email me at my writerly email address: Cid AT CidWrites DOT com 

Appreciate all the help!

About Me

My photo
Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!
