Thank you, FracturedLogic! Thank you for your insightful reply and your words of wisdom. You are right. I should have posted in the Relationships forum, but I was confused as to where the question belonged. Thank you for the validation, and for your timely reply to my question. When I get something decent written down, I will post it here first! Rock on, Logic!

Hi. I got a question for all writers out there. When I was younger, me and my best friend used to tell each other stories to pass the time. Our fantasy world got really involved. It was fun, but eventually, we went our separate ways. My problem was, I fell in love with him, and he didn't want to be my boyfriend. Now wonder if I want to write about the characters I created with him as a way to still cling to him. When I write about my stupid characters, I inevitably think of him. I am trying to get over him, but I still love to write about our characters. My question is: should I stop writing about our mutual characters and try writing about something else, or should I keep writing about our mutual characters that have a hold on my heart? You see, my heart tells me that if I don't write the characters for his eyes only, then there is no point in writing them at all. Why would the world be interested in our stupid little fantasy world? I am clearly in a muddle. Any advice is respected. Thank you.

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind as I try to learn guitar, write poems, draw cartoons, write short stories and paint. And tomorrow I'll do something else.

Hi! I'm ladyjane, and I got a question for my fellow creatives: how do you decide what to specialize in? I'm 39 years old and I don't have a lot of free time for creative projects. But when I do get free time, I want to do a million creative things: write poems, write fiction, draw cartoons, learn to play guitar. But I wonder if I should specialize in just one thing and learn to do it well. Does anyone else have this problem? You want to do everything in the creative arts and can't decide what to specialize in? How would I know what to specialize in? Any advice is appriciated. Or am I just weird?
