Assalam o Alaikum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh!
My aunt said about my story. That I am a writer. And my story has an impact on readers - those who have gone through it and those who haven't. If because of my story, any one even a person had a negative impact, I will be the one responsible for it. She gave me a practical example too. As a writer, I know it too and kind of agree with her partially. She is right about having impacts. She knows I wrote story about child abuse. It's fun, you know, reading stories about torture. So fun to read tortures and write on it. But what about its impact on others? One who hasn't gone through it at all, but gets excited to go through it because he/she read a story about it. I know you think, it's impossible, who would like it in real life, right? I have a real example which I can't share. I know not every one will have it. But I or we will have to consider those who might have had it. Because as a writer, you are responsible for every impact you had on readers because of your stories.
My friend told me that "Let the story flow, let the people see that healing is also possible. The love is still there. There is still hope. And about who haven't gone through it still fantasies let them see how badly it impacts because mostly writers show torture then realisation then happy reunion. That's why even my book is long because I want to describe properly."
While I agree with her, but I do not have it in mine to go deeper.
I do not have the capability of describing all these and making long stories. I'm not much of a big writer either. I don't know much about showing emotions, impact and all.
It's about writing, the way of writing, the style of writing and also the passion of writing. It's about how you represent the message, show the message, show the bad impact, spread it. These things, I do not have it in me right now.
Maybe once I am good in all. Once I have grown up, I will complete this story. For now, I will unpublish it.
