Wes,

I submit that if you come out alive it's neither fate nor destiny, but "field research"! Unlike Internet research, field research often involves injury and rarely leads to free pornography. That's what having rich life experiences is all about. It's about sacrifices, is what I'm saying.

In this case, if you want to you can now revisit that piece of writing with the added authority of having lived through pretty much that exact experience, including the physical and mental experience to flesh it out. If the experience pretty much sucked as bad in real life as in your imagination, you have the satisfaction of knowing you were creative enough to nail it beforehand.

Tony
