> You are into science? Your writing is very good!
I was also a Religious Studies major in school. Given the merciless hammering my first papers received in college, I told myself "you had damn well better learn how to write." So I honestly think I do write a little better than some of my colleagues, who were never challenged in that way.

The thing I like about it I guess is it reveals something about adult love: the resignation maturity brings, learning to be "big" about it yet harboring something wounded and petty.
> Do you find it easier to write when you're depressed? (What a morbid question, but I realized that people liked my stories *they were more descriptive - actually more feeling* when I am depressed.)
Yes, I do, unfortunately. I used to make up little tunes all the time on my guitar. They could be kind of dreary (party music? NOT!), but they were also kind of creative. A little harsh. Edgy? I don't know. Now, if I make anything up, it's nice. "Nice". How boring. But, given the alternative, I guess I'll part with the muse if it means not sincerely wanting to be dead sometimes. It's just not worth it.But, hey, what have you written?
