The Subject Matter

Another Cape May wonder!

Whatever I am writing...I am feeling.  If I am writing about dying and death I will grieve.  That's where I am these days. In my storyline, a couple has passed away in a car accident.  Writing about the person who is left behind, and what she is feeling, is exhausting.

I need to feel what she is feeling.  I need to place myself inside her head and her heart to know what is happening.  In doing so, I thrust myself into the midst of tragedy and try to make sense of it where there is none.  I try to find joy when there is none...and I try to give them hope.  But hope is not available everywhere.  It comes at a big price and is attached to "the other shoe which is about to drop."
