I am DYING to know what this is really about. Because it sounds like she started writing some interesting stuff, killing off a sweetie or two, messing up Anita's world, *in reaction to something not good in her own*, AND THEN woke up in the morning and decided to return to her safety place of Anita and her Pokemon lovers all being sooo happy together etc.

Agreed. I really want to see who she killed and why and how stuff changed because that would be interesting.

I cannot even begin to parse all the crazy in this entry.

I am assuming she wrote something that might actually have had some decent ramifications for the series and been, you know, interesting, but that was too traumatising, so now it'll just be, "I woke up in hospital, everyone is fine, I learned a valuable lesson that will never be referred to ever again, yay."

Jeebus, what a drama queen.

I recently had to rewrite something that had been playing on my mind for about three years, but I didn't make a song and dance about it. My character had something done to her that just didn't sit right with me and felt like too much of a cliché, so I went in and fiddled.

I certainly didn't equate it to every war ever played out. She needs to step back and write about kittens for a while.

She was making plots and that was too hard so she fell back into the same ol' with a blog justifying her actions as brave. When she turns in the same sort of crap to the publisher again, I hope they understand how hard it was for her.

"I tried to make a plotline but it drove me to nearly cheat on my husband and all my characters were SO UPSET so I went back to more of the same!"
