Do you consider writers as crazy people?




If you are an author, the feeling of madness is familiar to you. Emotions will fly on the paper.

Depending on your mood, your expression will find a place in your story.

Sad? Your lines will be filled with sadness.

Angry? Your letters will burn in anger.

Happy? Your lines are smiling.

If you have the power to forward your message to readers, they will feel it. Primarily if your stories are based on actual events, you can reach to reader's emotions.


Some myths about authors:

They are addicts. Drinking and taking drugs was not unknown to authors, but it is not the label everyone should wear.

They have mental problems. Writers such as Poe and Kafka are usual patterns, but not every author deals with this.

If authors have writer's block they fall into depression. You can see this in movies when the writer is desperate because his thoughts can't go in the direction he wants. Javier Bardem is a playing writer who will do everything to please his fans in the movie "Mama." This horror shows the danger of obsession with someone's fame and idolatry.


However, you can't write well if you don't move your limits. It means you must step into an unknown area. Killing characters, making kinky intimate scenes, and playing with the reader's mind will give your imagination space. 

As I prefer dynamic actions in my books, I also love to read them. Slow descriptions in the book are dull for me. 

Can you write well if you are not a little crazy?

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes.  Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
