I think it's a short story writer's duty, as well as writing well about emotions and characters, to write story.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I consider myself a writer. I don't favour any type of writing. I sometimes wish short stories came more easily to me.
I think the purpose of the writer is to help us see. The writer is someone who can perhaps have the joy of helping others see.
Your job as a writer is to find storylines, narrative structures, and characters to show the things that you believe rather than saying them or telling them.
Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.
Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it.
The writer's duty is to keep on writing.
A story is built on characters and reasons.
To me, the writer's main job is to just make the story unscroll in such a way that the reader is snared - she's right there, seeing things happen and caring about them. And if you dedicate yourself to this job, the meanings more or less take care of themselves. That's the theory, anyway.
Writing is an extreme privilege but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself and it's a gift of giving a story to someone.
I think the job of writing and literature is to encourage each one of us to believe that we're living in a story.
