I took meds for it for over 9 years. I am better now, but still have to be careful not to wallow which is another thing that can make writing fiction a challenge.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816550162486832524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035513.post-60007614200045751932012-07-12T22:06:18.701-07:002012-07-12T22:06:18.701-07:00Did I actually say "or a clever ending" ...Did I actually say "or a clever ending" twice?

It doesn't have to be an insightful ending or a twist ending or a clever ending or a clever ending. Just some kind of end. <br /><br />Try it.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035513.post-58920121481155242562012-07-12T20:49:10.641-07:002012-07-12T20:49:10.641-07:00I did the exact same thing as a child - the exact ...I did the exact same thing as a child - the exact same stories.
