I’m so glad Alison posted that she doesn’t do this, because I don’t either. Although I admit I cry when reading OTHER books. LOL Writing them, mostly I’m pretty unemotional.

Only once, when a scene struck too close to home.:sad:

One of my favorite quotes ahout writing is from Robert Frost: “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.” Being a bit hardhearted, like Alison, I don’t actually usually cry over my manuscripts… but I do get a wee bit choked up every now and again. I guess what really matters is that the writer gets emotionally involved in the manuscript, regardless of whether actual tears are shed or not!

Yeah, Teresa, but is that because the scene makes you sad or just because you hate having to write! LOLOL! Cuz I cry a lot when it comes to the latter!

I cry sometimes when I’m just sitting and thinking about/plotting the BM.:cry:

Nope. Never cried about a single one of ‘em. LOL! I’ll laugh at things they say, but nothing I write ever gets to me besides that. I’m a cold hearted snake! Ha!

I do it too! When I wrote the end of CDC I bawled my eyes out and it was weeks before I could go back and read it and not cry again (had to wait until the kids were gone to even write it and put it off for a week just so I could be alone!).:oops:
