Let’s talk troubles. We’ve all got them: Readers, writers, and most definitely characters. (Pro tip: If you want a happy, uneventful, well-adjusted life, do not live in a book.) Reading and writing can be an escape from the real world, or they can be a field trip straight into your darkest pain. This panel offers straight talk on how sometimes writing hurts...and how it can make life hurt less.
