Research

When storms come - and they will, a writer will notice the details and write them. When a writer has high emotion (either joy or depression), that writer should allow themselves to feel the feeling for a moment and write it. If depressed, don't stay there. Write it and leave it behind.

People need an outlet from their stress. Some people jog for stress relief, some use other forms of exercise. Writing can be a good form of stress relief. Writing it when the feeling is still there, even writing through the stress, will help a writer call on those details later for use in a story. A writer knows that high emotion always dwindles to a mellowed form. When we write the journey back to normal, it helps not only our writing, but also our souls.

No two people experience emergencies the same way. But there are usually enough similarities for people to identify with the same feelings that someone else felt in their emergency.Writing the feelings, the details of the emergency, the journey back to normal, and remembrances of that event in later years will be a tool a writer can use to help themselves deal with the stress, emotion, or maybe the pain of the event. People who are not trying to develop a writing career can use the same method to help themselves deal with a traumatic event.

Any emergency can be dealt with appropriately, and then remembered and written down. This is called obtaining valuable research from life experiences. Don't waste any of the important moments of your life. Use them to help others get through their storms.
