TnT: writing as therapy

[pipisafoat]

Don't forget about Contest 55, which asks you to rewrite a well-known narrative (popular movie, classic fairy tale) with a different ending!

Today, I present for your consideration a quote from Jules Feiffer:

Writing, I explained, was mainly an attempt to out-argue one's past; to present events in such a light that battles lost in life were either won on paper or held to a draw.

Have you ever done this in your writing? Why or why not? Did it work?

sometimes it makes me wonder "what if" a little too loudly.

Oh, I can definitely see how that would start happening! Yikes. That would be a big big trap for me, I'm sure.

It's unnerving to say the least. Because then I start trying to *do* something about it...
