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.

I'm sure this will come as absolutely no surprise to you, but I've cried several times while writing my two multi-chaptered fics. Not so much while I've been writing them (although that has certainly happened before), but more when I've gone back to re-read through and do editing and cleaning up. Part of that is the fics are so angsty and dark and I need to be in that place to even write them... which means I'm more open to a tearful disposition to begin with, as opposed to my usual cheeriness.

I'm so sad I missed you over the weekend! It's been non-stop over here since last Friday (night of the accident), but I think I'll be slowing down this week a bit. I'm hoping to have time to call sometime in the next few days. Until then... ::massive hugs and love::

Hello, love. Well, with yours, the content and the very reason why you've written some of it is bound to cause emotional surges. I think part of why I was so surprised was that I was just writing a tender scene, in which one of the two characters was unconscious! It's all good; I've known that I need some healthy, purging cries, but I can't force them. This was needed.

You and I will catch up at some point! I think your daily life and weekends, especially, are far busier than mine, but we'll cross paths in the next couple of weeks. XOXOX
