crying over characters: does anyone else do this?

[inferiarecoming]

I'm writing a Sims 2 story (temporarily called Counci Thirteen until I come up with a better name), and in the middle of writing a scene for one of the later chapters I just killed off a character. And I'm crying. Tears streaming down my face, etc.

I've had this death planned since the beginning but oh god. I did not expect to get this upset. To make matters worse, I'm listening to Timshel by Mumford and Sons, and it's just making me cry more.


I know a fair few of you are also writers - do you guys cry when/if you kill off a character? What was the emotional you've ever gotten when writing about a character?


R.I.P. character who shall remain anonymous for now. You fought a good fight.

*sheepishly raises hand* I do it. ^^;

Apparently I can write pretty depressing stuff that tends to make me cry, both while writing it AND reading it over later on. So you're not alone! lol

Oh, I am *SO* glad I'm not the only one.

I haven't cried but I've felt pained!

I have, not as of yet, killed a character. But, a friend of mine has and she cried, and felt like crap.
