Writing is revealing a part of us to others. Maybe in a thematic blog - or perhaps it is more correct to say "technical" - it is more difficult to reveal certain sides of ourselves, but by writing fiction we certainly tell something personal and intimate. Maybe it's not so clear, maybe it's not even easy to understand, in some cases it's even impossible, but the author puts something of himself into a story. He could be a character that reflects the author himself, it could be a situation that he has experienced, or a story based on a reflection, on a problem that he feels. Or maybe the story is just an excuse to show his vision of the world, even if he does it through a fantasy or even horror novel.
I don't know if in these cases we can say that the author is sending a message to the readers, but in my opinion no. I believe that he simply chose to write without any restrictions , free from modesty and Special Data shyness. Unveil yourself through writing I've been thinking about this in recent days. Reviewing the stories published on the blog and the list of novels I would like to write, I asked myself this problem: how much a reader can understand about me by reading those stories, what impression he will have of me as a person and not as an author. I asked myself how much freedom I should allow myself when I write , whether or not to apply a sort of self-censorship in case too much is revealed in one of my stories, sides are discove#&@ that I want to leave hidden, ideas that I prefer to keep to myself.
I also asked myself how much self-censo#&@ writing is worth , how much strength a story will lose if the author applies these restrictions to his freedom of expression and narration. Perhaps those stories purged by the author himself will have very little value, an act perhaps more cruel and serious than past literary censorships. And those stories will lose a lot of strength without the author's emotions anymore, without the anger that made his writing explode on paper. Will they be stories without passion? I think so. Because perhaps they will be colder in comparison, perhaps the result will be "calculated" writing, studied on a desk according to precise formulas.
