You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Stories can encourage us and embolden us to face ourselves and to feel. Stories can make us feel less alone. If we're reading a story that moves us, we can feel that emotion that I feel towards my father or mother or girlfriend. So they can give us late-night company.
People love stories. They need stories.
I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.
I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.
To share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it.
It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.
When you feel moved by the story, you want to tell that story.
I don't want to write lines where characters tell me exactly how they feel; I want to see people talk about anything but their feelings, like they do in real life.
When I write fiction, I never try to deliver a message; I just want to tell a story. But I admit that I want the story to be memorable and the characters to touch the reader's heart.
I think everyone feels alone in their sadness, and there's a certain value to hearing other people's sad stories.
