Some quick truths about being IN the world and not just writing about it or researching it.

IF someone is NOT talking about their personal experience … they don’t have to.

IF someone is NOT telling you their personal sorrow … they don’t owe you anything.

IF someone wants to write about their life as they lived it, they can. BUT …. there is always a but …. if they abuse or abused people, (domestic violence, narcissistic personality disorder, etc.) … they WILL paint themselves the victim. It’s an awful experience that nobody should be subjected to.

When someone has a great experience …. that also belongs to them.

If you’re happy with your life …. that’s awesome for you. We’re happy for you.

But … if you’re not happy with your life … then it’s something to work on.

Writer’s build worlds in their writing. Why don’t people build worlds in their living?

Some people do ~ not everyone realizes that they can.

Here’s to your world building.
