They do have some inner strength that comes out in the end, though so I guess I'd rather be like them. But must I go through their excessive pain? Some writer once said (was it Sendak?) that the author has the same emotional crisis at the exact time their character does.<br /><br />Writing to control anxiety is so true, but don't we also write to avoid anxiety? I'm only anxious and insecure and desperate to control it when I am NOT writing. When I am writing it is all good. <br /><br />I better get back to writing...Lisa Jahn-Cloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167850118852016249noreply@blogger.com
