Never Be Weary Of Studying Real Life

Blog City – Day 1596

Prompt: "Novelists should never allow themselves to weary of the study of real life." What are your thoughts on this?

We draw from life around us. Staying in the game means staying aware of the world around us and all the nuances of that life. Being a student of real life means putting yourself out there... not as part of the drama necessarily, but observing the myriad of people and their endless stories that swirl around us. Tuning ourselves into the vibrational aspects of a story pull us in. If you ever become weary of that... then it is time to do something else or quit entirely. As a writer, I don't believe we can ever turn this curiosity about people and their stories off. We are driven to unearth and reveal the truth that lies within the stories we tell. It is who we are.
