Steve Segedy and Mark Delsing hit it for my thoughts. Even in a theater surrounded by others, I am not forced to take responsibility for anything being projected; but, at a table where I am, if not author or co-author, but responsible for the actions occurring, even remotely…much, much different.

I once wrote a short story about a child being sexually molested. It was difficult to write, even never having been a victim; subjecting my story character to it felt…dangerous. Not good dangerous.
