You gotta love it! Making up whole worlds, controlling people's lives, killing off characters...it's so much fun. And addictive. And tempting to just live in that world and never come up for air, especially when the real world is so chaotic, sad, and some days seeming to be on the verge of falling off a cliff.
Those are the days when it's important to reach beyond Facebook and email for comfort and friendship. It's important to remember that you need real live people to fill your days as well. I make it a point to meet up with other writers several times a month, whether it's a writers group meeting or lunch with a friend who also writes books. It's important to connect. We are social beings and we need that grounding to survive, to recharge, and get back to those characters and cause more mayhem.
