Unhealthy targets of rage.

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed recently that I have a lot of pent-up anger. Repressing it isn't going to help me any. I've also discovered that I take out my anger and frustration on things that I don't really know much about, like in my anti-adoption rants and the nasty things I've posted about the opposite sex here. Truly cruel words. Every day, I try to find ways of getting it out without causing a fuss. Writing, my number one pasttime, helps a good deal. A couple of days ago, I was writing a scene in a stageplay where a father and daughter were arguing about their depression. I think that, in that shouting match between Holden and Eva Elliot, a lot of me came out on the page. I think that's a good thing. I try to think of my writing as a form of therapy. A lot of my characters are based off of facets of my personality. I try to get into their heads, know them, and by doing that, the characters and I can get our issues out. My characters are actors, as well as my friends and demons. They're all sorts of things to me. Fascinating. Depraved. Wild. I could go on. I guess that what I'm trying to say is that, when the darkness is enveloping you, bring a kerosene lantern.
