Writing

Have you ever written any content or piece of text that unsettles you to the point that you want to stop and reassess your motives for writing it? I am new at creative writing and have written two such pieces. The first one titled "The Sculptor" is so gruesome and bloody that I only wrote one page of it and have not continued ever since. The second one is part of an untitled novel and taps into an area of a value system that up to now, I have not given myself the indulgence to delve deeper into. If you have experienced this in your writing, can you please share your thoughts and how you overcame it?
