People go through periods when things are dark and cloudy, and they talk dark and cloudy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have some dark days and dark moments going through chemo and things like that.
People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
I think we all have light and dark inside us.
When I read period material - and it ain't on Google - I am always alert for that one incredible detail. I'll read a whole book and get three words out of it, but they'll be three really good words.
Each day is a different length of time and that gives a different length to the cusp between light and darkness or darkness and light.
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.'
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.
I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things.
I've never really worked out this thought, and I don't know if I'm really conscious of it, but I can see there's an attraction about writing about a period that's over and isn't going to change colour while you look at it.
