brightrosefoxPersonal trauma is not a competition. There are no gold medals waiting for you at the end of your pain. There is only life. You don't win or lose, you just keep going.
(Side note: Authors who develop planet-sized egos and whine like petulant teenagers do not make me want to read their books. Blaming emotional problems on a "muse" smacks of immaturity. You are a writer. You control your characters. You do not cry over the personal problems of your "imaginary friends" and then insist that you can't do anything about it. You are not a special snowflake because you think your writing techniques are better than anyone else's writing techniques. In short, stop taking yourself so seriously, get some perspective, and spend some time in your own head rather than in the heads of your fictional characters.
Creativity: you're doing it wrong.)
