Working on my writing...
I think most writers put a lot of themselves into their work to some degree but most often in the genre we deal with here... within the gay community.
I was getting to a part in the story that suddenly had me bawling as i typed. It wasnt particularly a stressful part of the story line... it was just a mundane set up for something to follow later on... but it hit me all at once and without warning and i was crying like a baby...
Hmm... oh well...
Now, my question is pointed to other writers here... does this kind of thing happen to you?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

If you didn't feel what you wrote how could you hope to convey the feelings to your readers? I bawl and I laugh. But mostly I stare at an empty monitor and go... shit, what now?

I try to put emotion into it but not often i break down and bawl... I could see it if it were a particularly intense segment of the story but this was nothing more than a mundane christmas party at school... wierd.
Blank monitor... dont have that problem.... am up to page 616 and only 1/3 done... I figure i am a week behind schedual... but i will have to double my quots for a few days.

(a) You remembered how silly you look in party hats.
(b) The past couple of days just caught up with you.
(c) Subconsciously you remembered the party - and you didn't get a present.
(d) Your butt hurts.
(e) I think I'd pick (b)and (d)::-)
