You ever cry while writing something emotional?

[sam9501]

Do you guys ever have like tears welling up just tears going down your cheek when you something emotional? Like a death

I’m imagining you bawling as you write “I love green eggs and ham, I do, Sam I Am.”

Yes, it happened to me several times.

Yes

Unironically, in the right context that could make me cry. Lines that sound stupid to someone who hasn't read a story can be very emotionally charged to someone who understands the significance.

Emotional scenes I write tend to get me teary eye while I write and reread them. My readers tell me I'm pretty good at bringing out emotions from them, so perhaps that's why. When I write, I place myself in the character's shoes, allowing myself to feel what they feel. It allows you to show and draw out more emotions that way.

For smut writers: Do you ever get aroused when writing chapter after chapter filled with nothing but sex?

If your writing session lasts longer than 4 hours, consult your physician.

 

[Nolff]

Same old story, if it doesn’t happen, it means you’re not doing a good job. If it doesn’t arouse you, how can you expect it to arouse the reader?
So, the answer is yes.

Well then, glad to know my underage license is still active.

I'm a man. A man only has three feelings: Hatred, Hungry, and Horny.
We are allowed one tear every 24 hours, however. Usually reserved for when food we buy sucks.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Yes

 

[Katsuya]

Often, though rarely flat-out crying. My wife has found me sniffing with watery eyes as I write certain scenes. I get emotional on the character's behalf.

The bad events tend to be in the past, I like to write characters being on the upswing of things. But there is still a lot of emotion involved in everything from revealing aspects of one's past to a moment of bonding and healing.

Ya exactly

I think i kinda have. but like when ur not focused like i was, ur concentrating more on how to build the scene rather than the content

I’m imagining you bawling as you write “I love green eggs and ham, I do, Sam I Am.”

Haha, no way

Yes

Sup, been quite the while

 

[ThatStrangeFamiliar]

The few times I have put something on the page and walked away knowing that I hit the mark were because of tears.

I see behind the veil, I know the ins and outs of the story itself.

If something I write makes me cry despite that knowledge, I know I have done something right.

Most character deaths in stories I love rarely make me cry. The exceptions are when the death itself is a completion of their character arc. I.E, Tony Stark in Avengers Endgame.

The times I've cried the most have always been character moments and are not motivated by sadness. No spoilers, but the second half of the Dresden Files are filled with these. Particularly books 15-17.

This may just be me and may lead to flaws in my stories, but a properly constructed scene that focuses on friendships or character growth is more apt to make my eyes wet than something that is explicitly sad.

No.
My depression made me unable to feel emotions.

 

[Thraben]

Once.

In a fic that will never see the sun, I wrote a death scene from a character's own perspective that was so brutal and tragic up until the point that the character was actually supposed to die that I had to stop and cry for a bit before having a little healthy self-reflection on death before I could continue.

It will never see the sun because I quite literally lost it on my old school email before it got deleted.
