FWIW, I've been especially emotional lately too, and I'm starting to wonder if it's something in the stars or in the water. I decided today I needed a break from all the heavy-osity and put on Waiting for Guffman. To my horror, I found myself getting weepy at the song "A Penny for Your Thoughts."
As for revealing the angsty, horrible side of the writing life for all the world to see, I've done that a number of times. I'm still up in the air about whether it's a good idea or not. Because I have this sneaking suspicion that when I put those thoughts on LJ instead of on paper, I'm wanting to hear a chorus cry out encouragement. And I think people have been encouraging, but that's never been enough. What it's come down to is that the encouragement has to come from either inside me or that evanescent thing some of us call "God."
