Cry over you

[thrihyrne]

So last night after having rather a large fight with internet, my computer, Firefox, whatever, I gave up and went to my bed to write some more in my Vaysh-ventric story. I wrote this scene which didn't seem all that emotional, really, but I found my eyes welling up, and then outright bawling. All he was doing was remembering a song from a happier time in his past. And no, it wasn't frustration with my computer that caused it. ;)

Months of writing angst may now be getting to me. :P

Not that I'm one for fluff (gah!) or anything like that, but I think I'm going to need to write some shorter fics in which the characters do have some hope. This stuff combined with my state of mind and blasted spring and work stress… urg.

It will pass, but boy. I don't often get bowled over out of the blue like that. I'm sure this happens to other authors, too. Feel free to share! I won't be able to look at LJ again until tonight, but if any of you have found yourselves in strange or unexpected emotional straits due to writing, I'd be happy for this to be a time for you to tell me about it.

It's Monday.

Hey, you! I feel as though you and I haven't chatted in forever, but I, too, have looked at your posts. Glad that you decided to drop a line today.

My characters often take over, I've noticed, but I've also grown not to be too surprised by that. They definitely have their own personalities, and their own agendas!! ♥
