Horror
I'm almost finished reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane. The boy is in the fairy circle, surrounded by all the spectres of seven years, and I have come to a sudden realization about why I don't write. As I am crying, and blowing my nose, and breathing in hiccoughs, I realize that I am afraid of writing and being a writer because I am afraid that I will write stories like this. Horror stories. Stories that I do not like to read.

I've read that Stephen King says that the reason he writes those stories is to get them *out* of his head. On the other hand, if you can't read the story while/after you're reading it, you're going to need an *excellent* editor...
