I'm writing original fiction right now, and it's fighting me every step of the way. I feel like maybe this is all a fluke. Maybe I'm lying to myself about this being a thing that I can do.
I think it's the set-up more than anything else, trying to explain the universe without being all explainy. And getting to know the characters. That's been more challenging than I thought it would be. Or maybe I just didn't think about it very clearly.
Thank you. I'm fighting with original fiction and other things. Some days it feels like I've never written before and maybe I'm fooling myself. Maybe this is not a thing that I can do.
Writing original fiction is making me doubt my ability to put a coherent sentence together. Plus, life drama, OMG! But it's getting better. We went to therapy yesterday and it went really, really well. Lots of talking and sharing, and although I am not the focus, nor should I be, the therapist did take some time to check in with me and how I'm managing. He also pretty much supported the decisions I've made regarding the dissolution of the household. It's time and he pointed out that it only gets more traumatic and difficult the longer it takes to happen.
I continue to be an emotional mess, and my shorts continue to resist me. But, I suppose, they too are improving.
