Piecing the shattered glass together

if i was to pitch a short story to you, what genre would you prefer. i find dramatic writing is so much fun in a short page or two. takes you on a quick little adventure.

I also really like the ideo of love stories... not so much some aspects but more the process of finding and developing with another... that is a short story can be quite fun.

i always wanted to write a book on conversation. which is almost counter productive lol

Hope your day has gotten a bit bighter :0)

..oh and crying out lound should never really bother anyone else., empathy aside.

Every person should know that crying is normal, healthy and at times most necessary :0)

glad you are a bit better...

i think the energy release of crying is what crying is all about... whether positive or negative energy... it is very hard to keep in supressed when it builds up.

i recently realise that there were far worse things than making other people uncomfortable ( i.e. when i have had to stand up for myself and other react negatively). Its far worse to modify your behaviour to try to appease another at the cost of it causing yourself duress.

Recently i am trying to do what i know is right and needed, and to hell with my anxiety.

Its a work in progress.

Re historical writing i am fascinated by the idea of survival prior to modern equipment... who would climb a mountain with 100 year old technology? not me. :0)

...not sure if this will be helpful but have you ever had a mirror with you when crying.

Firsty it puts someone there with you in the same state, but it will show you that it is normal and nothing to be scared to show.

We all have cry face... mine makes me look about 106 years old....

..but ya gotta like the person in the mirror :0)

hey @creative_writer ...

my mother is exactly the same... i think they fee guilty and then defensive when their child expresses unhappiness. I try not to take it personally... but sometimes you want to be able to just talk about yourself, without other people needing to be part of it.

i have found that very hard but recently i realised that i am dying inside trying to keep other buyount, where in reality i am both not reading them correctly, and doing myself a disservice.

now i want to do what i need to do, and let the cards fall where they may. I have tried the other way for decades and has changed nothing.

I need to spend more time as me being me, and less time being the me i think others want or need.

It hasnt worked so might as try it this way... and its more honest too.

I hope my experience helps a bit :0)
