This is like a good singer singing the wrong song.......then when asked it turns out to be a self compositionYeah I did question this myself the other day:
-If I write about flowers it's all good, powerful
-If I try to describe sex or anything hugely niche like this is to me, it's not powerful. Writing relies on existing associations to pull off -anything-
Good stories are effective because they tap into the rich understanding we have of those meanings.
So, yeah, I'm fooling myself by not respecting the fundamentals here.
