Blacke Tales:
What is a bigger challenge and difficult - to write about our reality, or to write fiction? Best regards: A. Tomov - junior
Blacke Tales
Sorry so late. I've been away from Goodreads for quite some time. A little disagreement. I "unpublished" a number of my so-called "books" not long after they were published but "the librarians" refuse to remove them from my listings. Oh, well. Now, to your question: "Our reality "? I assume you mean the reality of the "ordinary" as opposed to fantasy or worlds of the imagination. For me, fiction is reality because it almost always involves human experience and expression. In fiction it is often shrouded by fictional characters and events, but the characters must be human and, therefore, real, and their experiences in those fictional events, whether ordinary, extraordinary or fantastic, are still genuine and relateable to those who read it. Besides, I happen to believe the imagination is probably more real than the physical world we perceive with our material senses and "our reality" is always coloured by Mind.
