I think our fears come out when they're ready. That experience may come out in a totally unrelated scene when you're least expecting it. I also found that when I stopped trying to force an experience to work for me is when it actually ended up helping.
Believe in yourself and it will happen!

It's that fear of tempting fate that stops a lot of us from pushing the "go there" boundaries. There are some topics I know I can push myself on and there are others that I just know I can't do - doesn't matter how much Laura pokes and prods 🙂

Oh there are movies/TV programs I won't watch - something horrible happening to a kid or animal, no way!

Even when we attribute it to made up characters it can be scary! 🙂

Thanks, James.
Harlan Ellison is absolutely right!

However, I teach creative writing and MAKE my students write stories about their fears and desires and hates and loves, but they give these things to a made-up character. Helps my students write with fierce description and attention to detail, and frees them a bit from the fear.
But, still, scares me to write about it, even though I know we HAVE to.
