Yk ur depressed when ur writing goes from fantasy and mind benders and world building and now it’s more realistic, trauma and working through it as the plot, the characters loosely based on me. Before, trauma was in the background. Now the whole plot

your mind, body, soul needs an outlet to express that! I wonder if you could specifically write a story that allows the trauma you have to be expressed and maybe even felt and find some sort of hope/resolution even in that story… so that you can keep your fantasy/mind benders story/world building focused?

That’s exactly what I’m doing actually! The book I’m writing is something I deeply connect with, the main character goes through addiction, depression, grief, unresolved trauma etc all 1st person of course (bc I don’t write 3rd person lol) and at the end she knows she needs a fresh start so she moves across the country to start over. Very detailed and things, I’m quite proud it!
