The difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction
As authors, we all try to pen down stories that can reach to each and every individual. The aim to always have stories which are easy to relate to. They should speak to us about people we can emotionally connect to. And I have read several amazing authors and have fallen in love with numerous beautifully sketched characters.
Yet, here I am today to tell you that there is a huge difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction.
Even when telling stories that come as close to life as possible, the focus is on one story at a time. The narration will follow a sequence of events to reach to a destination. However, that is not life. Life is messy. there are things that happen and other things will add up and further more things that were already pending.
Life is reading through several different books of different genres and by different authors, all at once!
While stories are amazing and I am all in support of several more stories, I would admit that I like the real deal better.
The books that I read helps me understand the different perspectives and life gives me opportunities to implement them.
The books give me a big wish list and life gives me a place to manifest and achieve all that!
I do enjoy my Non-Fictitious and messy life (I absolutely love it!). And exclusively for me, stories are a constant source of passion, expression, emotion, inspiration and several beautiful things without which my life would certainly become less interesting. In return, life is diligent enough to provide me with a lot more crazy experiences and stories to express and share.
One is not complete without the other and yet, we know they never co-exist.
Well, this is a little ode to my super crazy and messy life - I love you. You are adventurous, interesting, unpredictable and unfortunately sometimes cruel. But you are all mine. And so are my stories - which bring me adventure, excitement, happiness, suspense, trill, mystery and sometimes sadness. But they reach my heart and come right back from there :)
Wishing you a happy life ahead! Happy Reading!
