Maratellsstories

I always knew that my stories are bit different from what i used to read but for long i didn't know why until i realized that most of my stories follow Kishōtenketsu story structure rather than hero's journey that is so common in our culture. I never planned to write like this but i guess that countless hours spend watching anime influenced my writing style without me realizing it

Poet who don’t understand emotions Yes, this is true. I don’t. And I don’t say it as a metaphor or anything like that. Literally, my brain cannot understand or name what I feel. There is a fancy medical term for it that I never bother to remember. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel; quite the opposite, I am hypersensitive and my heart is always overflowing with emotions, but my mind cannot put a label on them. I never can say ’I feel sad’; instead, I would be like, ’hmm... I sit in my room, crying and listening Requiem for Silence on loop for an hour. I guess I am sad.’ The funny thing is I have no problem understanding the emotions of other people or even fictional characters or putting them in my writings. Maybe this is why I write? To understand what I feel? Still, I don’t mind me being like this. Was I sad when my friend left and I wrote ”Namarie”? I guess I was, but I also was happy that we met, wishing her all the best. Knowing I will cherish those memories forever and loving her so

I don't want to be an airport book author You know those books. Copies of a book that went big and now everyone wants to hop on the trend. If you liked the original book, the one that started the trend, you will have fun. It's way better than sitting bored, waiting for a plane. But on the way home you will throw it to the nearest bin and not even remember what it was about. I definitely don't want to be an airport book author. I want to share my dreams and touch people with my stories and yes not everyone will like or even understand them. That's ok. I am really happy when someone likes them but also I am happy when people hate them. It means I did a good job and my story touched them enough to provoke anger. What I don't want is "it was ok...I suppose" Why do you write? What is your goal as an author? ------------------------------ #author#authorlife#authorcommunity#writerscommunity#writerslife
