My Writing Purpose

Sometimes it’s almost as if the past has found its way back to me. Whenever I write, I try to see the world through my characters, witness everything through their actions, and feel the chill in the air with a spray of the sea on their face as they do. Some may see that this is too much of a poetic idiom, but I feel that most authors feel this way. When we create a character that embraces every fiber of our being, when we design a scenario where the character must fight for his survival, we are not simply creating a way to make a profit. Moreover, we are creating an entire universe for our character to live within. I’ve heard the snorting comments and I feel like these people are misguided because they can’t have that kind of connection with my character than I do. Truthfully, I feel like that is truly the reason why we do what we do as authors, to breathe life into existence for characters.
