The Core of Great Writing
The fundamental rule of writing is to focus on the truth, which allows the writer to genuinely connect with their audience. Emotions, as expressed through colors, shapes, and bodily sensations, enhance the storytelling process. Many creatives find that turning their suffering into art can serve as both a coping mechanism and a powerful means of authentic expression. Humor can also play a key role, as it often reflects shared truths that people hesitate to voice, making it a valuable tool for any writer looking to connect deeply.
