i do...(hi, long time lurker, first time poster...)<br /><br />i don't know, i've just finished a short story that ended up being based on a bunch of real life stuff and (altho it wasn't meant to) turned out to be a bit like therapy for me. I've been writing for about fifteen years and this is maybe the first time i've ever done that... the resulting story's also (imo) one of my best (which obv doesn't mean it's any good or anything, but you get my point). So i don't know.Rakiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787205403166404103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-37300209275595405522010-03-30T11:52:27.203-07:002010-03-30T11:52:27.203-07:00Nooo, never.

Plus, your personal weaknesses become readily apparent to everyone reading it.

Just let your anger flow, create characters, then DESTROY 'EM AND KILL 'EM OFF on paper. Better than actually lashing out physical violence on real people !!Sabina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14679639206346030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-42308753945644184342010-03-30T06:43:02.225-07:002010-03-30T06:43:02.225-07:00I've been working on my first finished screenp...I've been working on my first finished screenplay (a captive horror) for the last six months. I'm convinced that the reason I finally got to the end of a first draft is in part because I chose to write about what really scares me.<br /><br />As a beginner, focusing on something my heart was committed to made learning discipline ten times easier.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126072741106777029noreply@blogger.com
