Or as I said to a friend who just didn't 'get it': "Something exists that wasn't here before I came."
Fiction explores reality better than reality itself allows.
And, more importantly, fiction allows people to look at the ugly side of themselves and their culture without consciously taking offense and, thus, refusing to see the truth in the story.
I feel just the other way, actually. I find non-fiction way more interesting both to write and to read - real life to me beats most fictional accounts.
Maybe my imagination just really sucks - that's possible too
Hi Bushrat,
I'm curious, what kind of non fiction do you write?
I'd agree reality beats fiction in many cases, but like to blend both.
Money, pure and simple. I do enjoy writing, but not enough to ever write for free.
