I tend to only write when I have anxiety creep through. It was a suggestion that my psychiatrist made to me, and it is truly therapeutic. But I will also say, it tends to lean a little bit dark. Sometimes I will finish writing and look back at it and think, “Where on earth did that come from?” I swear I am a pretty happy person, so when you read these I hope you don’t picture me as some somber, depressed human being that locks myself in some dark room all day. I normally will sit and write them out of the blue as I sit outside enjoying the sunshine with my kids, or curled up in my luxurious comfy bed. I will say, I’m convinced now that the best authors have to have some dark part in their brain that they access to create, because the out of the stuff I have written that my husband seems to love the most, seems to have come from some dark space inside my head.
