Finally, I'm Home.

After a week away from my computer and my writing, I have to say it is GOOD to be home. Let's just say that this trip was pretty awful and let it go at that.
I'm still going to try for my September 30th deadline (self-inflicted) to finish with "Rough Seas". I'd like to enter it in The Golden Heart. But it has to be "finished". I have the ending written. Whether that's the way it will stay, I don't know. There's a whole section of the thing that's really bugging me.
I thought that a little time off from the computer would give me some insight, but I was so busy every minute, I didn't have time to really think about it.
You know, things have been pretty bad here. My relationships are fine, but the rest of my routine life has been upended. I think I mentioned that "Peanut Butter Romance" was supposed to be "funny" and it kept getting all dark and heavy. I'm trying to keep the mundane stuff that makes my real life tough out of the writing I do. But it just keeps leaking in. *Sigh*.
Then again, some of the experiences I've had make writing about some things easier.
So the Question Of the Day is, how do you keep your "real" life seperate from your "writing" life? Do you write about feelings you've had? Do you find it "leaking" into your writing?
