Writing

To me?

Writing is an outlet.

To me?

Writing allows me to get the thoughts out of my head I wish were never there.

To me?

Writing is a friend.

To me?

Writing is reality.

To me?

Writing is pain, but the best kind.

Sometimes, writing can be suffocating.

Like when you're killing off a character and that pit grows in your stomach.

And that character is no man. No woman. No child. No villain or hero.

That character is a dog.

Those are the hardest.

(For real, though. I had to take thirty minutes just to cry after killing a dog in a story)
