[Kilroy the Grand]

So I've been writing a short story, it's going to probably be around 15 pages long. For 7 1/2 of them it was lighthearted, full of amusing situations, zany characters. Then I wrote about a 12 year old girl getting verbally & physically abused by her sister, to the point of a mental breakdown. The weird thing is that I can't delete those pages, because the fit so perfectly with the story, even if it's not what I originally intended. I have written other short stories that build her sister up to be an believably bitchy whore, and I would have had to show that at some point. I might have gone a little to far, but I needed the girl to be vulnerable and wanting of affection enough for the story to advance.

I should drink and write more.

I don't see a problem.

Unless there's a specific tone you're going for? If so, it's a matter of writing skill to get the conflict across without swerving into unintended directions (and also to determine if the unintended direction is actually better than what you first wanted).

I guess it's not so much a problem, It's just that some of the things I wrote border on the sadistic. It may attract a different audience than I am used too.
