Between the Woods and Frozen Lake

xtcian: between the woods and frozen lake : This post is by Ian the Screenwriter, a chap I met at a conference in Canada last year. He’s also the raging liberal I’ve posted here before.
But, besides being a raging liberal, he’s also an incredible writer. He’s a professional writer, to be sure, but he also writes little essays like this one here that are astonishing well-done.
It’s a special thing, this capacity for depression, and it sets you apart from the others who may feel blue, but lack an all-encompassing dread so thick you can’t imagine it ending. I know it set her apart from her sisters, who all found solace in the capable hands of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and it’s something she imbued in her five kids to varying degrees.
So, nothing here but some amazing writing. Move along, now.
