RE: Violence and Brutality in Fiction: The Ink Well's Stance

in The Ink Well3 years ago

I can't even do it. It has no appeal for me as a writer. I am too much of a news junkie and I know how much of this stuff goes on in real life. I want escapism in literature. I want to peer inside a human's soul and find out what makes them tick. I want to make words sing, and for readers to feel as though they took a small trip somewhere after reading one of my stories... not make them cringe, squirm, feel nauseous, and wish they had not read my story.

That said... I do enjoy the occasional crime show!

I had not heard the term write-mare! I like that.

I made up the term...😂. Sorry. I seemed to have given one with the recent prompt.
