Do you ever have to take a break from writing because you start to feel a little too much like the character?
This might be a stupid question that everyone feels and I’m just painfully unaware, but do you ever need to take a break from writing something because you start to get into the charater’s mind a little too much? Like, I’m writing a short story and my mc is basically beocming a hermit, having withdrawl symptoms, and severe depression. As I was writing I felt sweaty and generally unwell, so I took a break. Has this happened to you?
