I can understand what you mean. The story I'm writing myself at the moment has a really hideous beginning, given what happens to the character or rather what he is forced to witness. Writing that part made me go into a kind of gloomy mood for some days. I hadn't thought it would be possible to feel like that just from writing a story, but maybe we're kind of too(?) sensible (what I think is positive actually cause it helps being very intuitive in any situation). I found it difficult to manage that story's beginning after all, it seemed to plunge my creative mind into a bowl of glue or so. I really work hard now to help that character (and myself) out of the worst grieving... So I see why you needed a holiday from that angst, and on top we all had a lot of fun with the result ;-)
