I very much enjoyed reading this...thanks for posting it...
Two very common pieces of advice are commonly given to beginning writers (which some take):
1} Find your voice...through repetitive practice...write compulsively until you do!
2} Open a vein...share yourself...reveal yourself...there are others like you who will appreciate what you write...
This article does an excellent job of hinting at the value inherent in being honest with the reader...
I divide types of fiction into two broad categories; others do, as well...
1}Escape fiction---meant to entertain...
2}Interpretive fiction---meant to entertain by illuminating segments of the human condition (honest sharing)...
Interpretive fiction is more satisfying to me...the vast majority of the time...
- bcook 11y agoYour post was motivating enough to singularly encourage me to read the actual article. Truly, thank you for that. (Though, the article is a bit above my pay-grade... oh, the pain.)
- Outdoorsman 11y agoThanks...I owe thanks to the people who taught me the difference between escape and interpretive fiction... So, I'm repaying a debt, or attempting to pay it forward... I'm happy with either interpretation....
- bcook 11y agoA debt of kindness or knowledge?
- Outdoorsman 11y agoThe only honest reply that comes to mind is that we're likely finite beings and we should share whatever we think we've learned while we can....
