It's why we write--I think to make sense of these moments? No? Like David said, even if people are yelling etc., you can get a story out of it. When I was a senior in High School five years ago I took a "Memoirs & Personal Writing" class--okay, so I =knew very little about writing/what it is to be a writer, but I wrote one piece about my passion for writing that ended with: "I could lose myself in any good book, but it's in my writing that I find myself." Sometimes, I think its kind of, well, sick that we utilize every crisis as a subject, but at the same time, it's a coping mechanism. I don't really comprehend the bad until I put it down on paper and dissect it. Good post - glad to know I'm not the only one who does this! Carlo, I’m the same way. It’s why we write–I think to make sense of these moments? No? Like David said, even if people are yelling etc., you can get a story out of it.

For me, the thing I most struggle with is reading a book for fun. I feel like while I'm reading, I'm always over-analyzing everything in order to understand word choice, consider tone and rhythm, etc. So much for the days of curling up with a book just because!
