I second everything deadrats said. This is a good place with some good people. I too hope you stick around and things turn out better for you soon. Just to add, using the creative part of your brain, wether that be writing, performing or whatever, can give your brain a rest from all of the every day issues and responsibilities that you mention. That is what I have found anyway. Good luck.
Thank you for the encouragement. I just think it's kind of a 'wound and the bow' type thing. Do I write out of passion? Or is it kind of an avoidance thing? or borne out of not really being able to connect. It's a mixture obviously, but sometimes one of those things overwhelms the other and the writing really suffers. A lot of my stories and writing suffers from a limited and negative worldview. Then again, I don't know if I'd write if I had a better quality of life. I know this black and white thinking is part of the problem as well. Anyway, just some thoughts. Looking forward to getting into the forums here.
A scene a day, a paragraph a day, a page a day....some sort of discipline and routine like that...it all adds up very quickly and your competency grows quickly alongside.
