How on earth do you manage?!? I admire you for it.
When I'm in great stress, writing is an outlet that keeps me sane. Sometimes, like right now, I simply force myself to sit down and get through half-written chapters and finish them, no matter what. I'm certainly not doing it for the feedback that never comes. Well, almost never. Dís is keeping me from starving completely in these days, the dear girl. Well, at least I didn't get any nasty grammar-related remarks, either.
We'll be spending a few days in a cottage, talking Tolkien and exploring not only the surrounding area, which is a wonderful nature reserve, but also the pub in the next village.
I envy you so much! I never had the chance to discuss Tolkien with anyone since I learned about the existence of the fandom. I'd so love to do it, but, well...
Have you ever noticed any relation between stress and the nature of what you write?
Sometimes, yeah. When I was younger, definitely. Tend to write more angst, smut and gore in these times, albeit less so in thse days.
