No, I mean like, you feel the emotion of my character too much that it interrupts your writing. In my case, it makes me want to just lie down and do nothing. The feeling of dejection just halts my train of thought.Is this something you're looking for?
How accurately write depression for a character? Or is there a word to describe feeling down?
I saw someone made a thread about trying to find more sources so they can write an autistic character more accurately bc they don't want to inaccurately portray it. I was also wondering, since there was a story I had wanted to create last year about characters going through some downs and...forum.scribblehub.com
Nope, if anything, I write longer and faster.When you spill the emotions of your character onto yourself, do you ever find it hard to write? Interpret the emotion any way you wish, mine specifically is of my character's depression.
Hmm. I like to think of myself in 1st point of view, but when things get rough for the character, I like to switch or think of me being an outsider watching how it plays out. So whatever negative effect the characters go through doesn't effect me bc I'm just the watcher.No, I mean like, you feel the emotion of my character too much that it interrupts your writing.

I've once gone through the same emotions, so imagining it while writing just lowers my spirits so much.

My entire series is depressing. If I get discouraged easily, none of them would be complete.
Hmmm, yeah, I should step back. I've been writing while placing myself in the shoes of my character.Hmm.

Sorta like you got isekaied into a story, and you're telling how its like, only that you're not the main character of the story.
Sorry if it still doesn't answer your question, but I don't think I have gotten to there yet. I have thought of characters in sad situation and makes one feel sad. But not deep like a depressed character. If I do, Imma protect myself in bubble wrap and pretend I'm outside viewing on the inside.
Yeah. One thing I like to do is be 1st person of view to see and describe how it directly feels to a character, but when it gets rough for them, then I just say well actually its not happening to me, Im just a bystander ally on their team watching how things unfold in this story. Sorta like a excuse how to be direct and not be direct to how they go through stuff.Hmmm, yeah, I should step back. I've been writing while placing myself in the shoes of my character.
Oh damn. It hit me.
For my character, it may have been just a few chapters but for me(as the author), it's been a few hours.
Putting myself in that state of mind for so long, I must be emotionally drained.
I'll try it out tomorrow. I've become too lethargic to write. Good night and thank you!Yeah.

that's even worse cause when MC gets a happy ending . you think. this would never happen to me and get even more depressedI make my mc miserable to cope with my own depression.
I can only say I don't find it hard. I am emotional and they get to me a lot, but instead of causing issues, they help a lot. I do tend to deeply get into the character's mind. As long as I'm not having trouble seeing what I write through tears, it's fine, heh. But if that happens, I can be sure I captured what I wanted perfectly if it affected me.When you spill the emotions of your character onto yourself, do you ever find it hard to write?

You are not your character, i would keep it as simple as that.When you spill the emotions of your character onto yourself, do you ever find it hard to write? Interpret the emotion any way you wish, mine specifically is of my character's depression.
You cope with depression like that?!How I coping up with depression regardless of the cause ... write smut.
