--- End quote ---
Nope not at all! I think all writers do that. I know I have. When they're happy I'm happy and when they're going through something emotional I've found myself with tears streaming down my face as I write. I think that a good writer is someone who really forces themselves to feel what their characters are going through and the only unfortunate part is that at parts like this it can be emotionally draining
Teri:
Oh yeah it's gonna be soooo hard the next few chapters, but it'll get better as they get better.

I totally agree. When I made the decision to kill Tammy, I was off for a while. I had to remove myself from it for a while and just plow through it because I was taking it way too seriously. I can't imagine what you're going through, Teri. I'm not strong enough to write what you are how well you are.

Tri has a point there. Again to a lesser degree, but during the whole destruction of Alyssa and Nick towards the end of UMS I definitely slowed down my writing and I was kind of in a bad mood now that I think of it lol. Maybe what we write really does carry over to our personal lifes in a way.
Teri:
*blushes* Katrina Marie! You flatter me too much! I'm not all that great, and you can protest all you want I'll never see it lol. I just love to write terribly romantic, angstydramatic with humorous moments in my stories. Call me great but I guess I just like and really need that balance of emotions. One of the GREATEST movie quotes is from Ali's favorite movie: Miami Rhapsody
"No I think that somedays are shit and others are spectacular and if the good days out number the bad ones then that's what marriage is about" and every story I write, I sorta use that as a monicker I guess lol.
