starting a new project
Cadbury:
I have tried to write about my N experiences at times and have hit the same block as you describe. I have started to think that it is too many triggers that block me. I think that I'm away from the N and so I should be able to write about it, but I get stuck. And then I find myself feeling lost, anxious, depressed and on edge again for no reason. At least I never saw the reason before, but now I wonder if it's the writing.
I hope you are ok anyway and that the tough time eases soon. Remember that by getting through all the crap, we are stronger than we know. Take care :-)

Thanks Cadbury for your kind words of support. It is a rough time and I relate to the triggers in writing that block our thoughts. It was an everyday thing for me.
Oh, yeah

Hi, Cadbury.
What helped me with writing was "taking a page" from David Gerrold, a sci-fi author. Anyone who got on his bad side was written as a villain in his stories and killed off. I wrote a Star Trek story where I basically made the villains into "red shirts" and killed them off. It seemed to help.
Cadbury:
I like that idea bones! Thank you :-)
Ales2:
Bones - that is great advice!
I did find that writing the story I could speak to the N, say things I wish I had the courage to say, cause trouble passively, be vindictive and have bad things happen to him and her (there are two in the book). Basically some things I wish I could do in real life (no, I dont mean the intention infliction of harm, but the speaking up and reporting people appropriately part, without the backlash) and that was very helpful. It was also educational, I could see alternate choices/actions I could have made and even speculate on the consequences of doing so. You are on to something with killing them off.....
I also gave the Ns a conscience and as soon as I did that, they became likable, so I took that out and they now seem more robotic and cruel...in other words, more realistic. :shock:
