dezdimona Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Many of you know I love to write. Writing for me is a way of expressing my inner emotions and sometimes helps me deal with turmoil. Even as a child I loved to write,my stories fasinated my teachers and my classmates alike. Being gifted with a very active imagination and loving fantasy works made me a natural for immersing myself into my writing and being able to convey feelings and emotions to so many on so real a level. As I grew I honed my skills with the help of many fine teachers,those that saw in me the ability to create something that only a chosen few truely can. The ability to make people think,react and yes, remember things from their own lives and experiences ,or to live a life other than their own thru the written word. My imagination made me a lover of sword and sorcery books,fantasy artists and again the ability to live what I wrote about, to go so deeply into my personal experience or the fantasy world and create, to be,to become and yes at times to live that role. Many great writters( and no, I am not one) have that ability. To create to make it so real that we wish to become a part of it,heart and soul are put into characters and they become alive,take on a true personality all their own,and in doing so become real to many. In a way they are,for do we all not want to live the life of the adventurer,the evil character,or the good hero. We all want to. Its a part of our human nature. The story becomes a part of us,thats why we can't put down a good book. We're held by it,the story entraps us and our pulse quickens and our emotions run high. Growing up for me was Conan,LOTR and many other fantasy books. Maybe thats why Oblivion holds such fasination for me. Seeing the world thru anothers eyes also holds fasination for many to. We get to see and experience first hand how others live,how they love and how they've been treated. We've all read a book about something that made us uncomfortable inside,for it made us look at our own short comings. We've felt sorry for someone,lived a life that was unimaginable to us, thru fiction,non-fiction or plain fantasy. We've all seen, heard of or experienced prejudice, racism, hatred and cruelty in some form or another. We all say we accept someone for who and what they are,but, when our beliefs are put to the test,do we all stay the course,or do we faulter? It's one thing to say that you don't have hate or you don't care whether someones skin is a different color,or their sexual preference makes no difference. It's another thing totally,to stand for those convictions, no matter what happens or what someone says,or how people look at or think of or about you. Many months ago I came up with an idea for a story. I myself have never seen something written on the subject, and I knew that I needed to do it.At the time I had no idea where it would go,where it would end or what would happen. I would immerse myself in it,live it,become it so that I could know first hand what it was like. What better way to write about something than living it. I would tackle a subject that to many was taboo, that to many they would wonder and shake their heads as to why someone would chose to live that way. I wanted to know first hand what it was like and to feel what it was like so that when it was over,I would understand,at least in a small part, the life, the loves, and yes the hate generated to and against these people. I spent months reading on and learning about this way of life, and at times it even vexed me. Friends and family told me not to do it,to be very careful. I put aside those concerns because to me this was worth knowing, this was worth doing and I would see it thru till the end. I became what I read about,at least in theory. The need to experience feelings toward these people and the hows and whys of their lifestyle drove me like an obsession. I lived that life in part, I saw the love, the understanding, the kindness, the concern and yes also,the hate,cruelty and bigotry of the human animal that we all are. Some will never understand why I did it,some will. But the story will be written all ficticiously of course. Do I have regrets? Yes. I Have found and made some truely great friends and I know they will understand,made some enemies, may you all burn!,but that was to be expected,and even lost a love interest,to my deepest regret! I've laughed,cried, been happy and been sad. but I'd do it all over again! I have months and months of compiled documentation to go thru, to sort, to sift thru. But in time it will become a story, one that I hope will open some eyes and make some people think. Its times like these that we as a world people need to stop and look at the reality of how things are,because only by facing them, and seeing them, can we ever hope to change them.

gandalftw Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sounds intriguing.Writers that bring their truth to the world are a courageous lot.BTW your story about the Amazon,Astriana(spl?),was so well written that i could see the events as they unfolded and feel the characters rage.I'm referring to the story at GVZ.It was splendid.
