With a full-time job, I was weekend backup. Still, I kept writing. But the stress became too much. Like you, my work took a weird turn. I lost my voice and sense of humor. After two years, I quit writing. Mom died, then MIL, and then a beloved aunt. Grief kept me away from writing for five years. I had no creative energy. Then an odd thing happened. I started writing for fun. No intent to publish. My joy in writing returned. I'm glad you found an outlet for your dark writing. Try to enjoy it. And get more sleep.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-34630676050266261882017-11-30T22:34:28.381-05:002017-11-30T22:34:28.381-05:00That's an unexpected benefit to the screenplay...That's an unexpected benefit to the screenplay! <br /><br />Big (((hugs)))Jenny Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320451924849353120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-66878559364577149962017-11-30T18:21:26.147-05:002017-11-30T18:21:26.147-05:00This is more of a 'focus' technique, than ...This is more of a 'focus' technique, than coping with dark times, but I've recently been trying concentration/study music for when I really don't want to edit a scene.Nicole Luikenhttp://www.nicoleluiken.comnoreply@blogger.com
