Hello, my name is Troy Seate and I am new to the BWL family.
After
reading a few of my stories, my parents booted me out of the house, but it
didn’t stop me.
I’ve been offered this opportunity to share a few ramblings with all of you. Many
writers don't want to be bothered by the real world. It doesn't fit with the
world of their words, a world they would rather to be in. I don’t go to this
extreme, but I do believe when it comes to the future or the past, everyone
writes fiction.
I like to think of fiction as a mirror version of reality set
to a greater or lesser degree of distortion depending on what genre a story is
cast. Make-believe can be a great healer. Sometimes it can even save us. Turning
words into people and places, and then mining the trivia of daily life to
uncover the emotions beneath can sometimes be a difficult task, but it is the
essence of what keeps us at it. So I say, wherever your dividing line between
fiction and reality falls, keep at it.
