I supposed I understand the logistics of being talented in grammar and literature and sensibly choosing a career in such according to schooling and prophet. Aside from these reasons, I am fascinated by writers because I think that each has a story, a world within them, that they are creatively letting escape through his/her words.
There is a story behind every face. The trick is to find the story and pull it out. In the process of doing just this I interviewed some very interesting people from an editor for Dog World to the Chief Engineer of the Austin-Healey sports car. The later was published internationally.
Everyone looks for something which stirs feelings and emotions, be it through adventure, drink, etc. For some people seeking happiness is what stirs their emotions. For some, happiness is great, but doesn't have that impact, and may perhaps be a bore, so they seek to stir their emotions in a melancholic way. Not that they necessarily like being sad, but such emotions seem very visceral and real. Perhaps similar to Dostoevsky saying that it is better to feel through suffering than to not feel at all.
Perhaps this is on topic...in my own round-about way.

So my question for you is...WHAT'S YOUR STORY?!?!
I think my story is about connecting with others and finding that we are all really the same. We all have the same story.
I've told part of my story, but a detailed look at one year out of 62 (and counting!) is a very low-calorie slice of the pie even though that was the pivotal year of my life.
In a wider sense, we can only write what we know. Even if we have only dreamed it, we have experienced something of whatever we write, and that part of us comes out through our words.
^dunno if there's a similarity here: mine usually get much faster judged off topic and deleted than trusted to be heard and therefore told.
writing a present instead of a past or a fictional elsewhere?
