A Question That Has Nothing At All To Do With the Scene I Just Wrote

[snurri]

Didja ever write something that made you so uncomfortable with your own brain that you had to physically move away from the manuscript in order to rid yourself of the wiggins?

I say things on a regular basis that make other people uncomfortable. I occasionally do so for the sole purpose of making others uncomfortable, or rather for the purpose of seeing how they react to that discomfort. I recognize that I am capable of thinking and coming up with disturbing ideas, images, etc., sometimes intentionally or consciously and other times not, but they don't make me uncomfortable. I'd probably get uncomfortable if I started trying to implement them, but that's a whole different thing.

Makes sense. I guess that, for me, the difference is that when I actually write things down, it means considering them and describing them in more detail than I would if I were just entertaining a random thought or having a provocative conversation. So occasionally I freak myself out a bit.
