Truth may be stranger than fiction, but both lend balance to life
Pressure or no pressure? Fiction writing is both a challenge and a release. It mimics the tension of regular life, but with a little more control over the pacing and flow of events. When things come at us out of left field, we often feel blindsided. When things come at our characters out of left field in fiction, we know they're a natural outgrowth of the story process. Writing fiction helps us expect, and accept, the unexpected in regular life.
