Emotional Writing

I'm an intuitive and empathic writer...that is, I feel every bit of my story as if it is actually happening. I can't write it if I don't feel it. Considering how violent most of my books tend to be, I guess it's not that astounding that people always wonder how it could've come from someone so young as me and why I'd write it. But it's really theraputic and I think it improves me ability to understand other people, putting myself in each character's shoes.

I once cried while writing a chapter for one of my stories but I wasn't sure if it was because of the song I was listening to at that time or was it my plot. I always wondered about it. But maybe I will let my readers decide later.

I get emotional when writing. Not just tears of sadness, laughter as well. Sometimes funny things happen to my characters and I have to laugh. I think it is the connection between what is being written or composed and the creation. It taps into deep emotions. Sometimes they are so overwhelming, these emotions must come out. My hope is that the reader can connect with my characters as deeply as I do. Of course, I think that is every creator's deepest wish. That what the creator feels also moves those who are the audience. Good luck on your songs.

I get really emotional sometimes. I once wrote a story which made me cry and cry. I don't really know what happened, I was crying when I wrote the story and when I had finished writing it, I wanted to read it through and then I started crying again. The strange thing is, it wasn't a story taken from my own life, if I had been very emotionally involved in it, it would have been natural to get very affected by it, but that wasn't the case. It was just a story, a very sad story.
