Eva’s Byte #365 – Never Have I Ever
While nothing is impossible, and anything can happen—thus far, I’ve never:
Gotten a tattoo.
Ran a marathon.
Participated in a protest.
Been to Disney.
Paraglided from a high place.
Oh, there’s plenty more I’ve never done! For the sake of brevity, I’ve limited it to five.
I’ve never murdered anyone either.
Nor, do I intend to in the foreseeable future. However, it’s never stopped me from incorporating such an atrocity, or other squeamish occurrences, in my capacity of a writer. The browsing history of many a writer has potential to evolve into a virtual “mind” field strewn with disturbing subject matter.
Setting aside all that’s daring and edgy in those “Never Have I Ever” lists, I think it’s fair to say most of us have undergone enough trauma and drama throughout our everyday living. It’s more than sufficient to elicit an array of spin-off emotions spawned by categories of: enjoyment, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust.
A writer’s ability to tap into these emotions and incorporate them into his/her story may have little or nothing to do with having lived on the edge, or committed a crime. It’s about wielding imagination.
In my own capacity of a writer, I’ve gotten inside the headspace of my characters all the way to the finish line of Chapter 11 (1503 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. I’ll be firing up Chapter 12.
*May each of us enjoy our creative pursuits without going to extremes.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
