I think authenticity in emotion is the best way to capture readers because it creates that all-important emotional punch. The best way to do that is, of course, by being as honest as we can when writing emotional scenes. When I find myself laughing or with tears in my eyes as I write because I'm writing from my personal experiences, I must be doing something right, right? :)<br />MarilynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229810970636487006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-53944519037699262252015-05-05T00:21:37.667+10:002015-05-05T00:21:37.667+10:00Hi Enisa, sorry about your dad.

I suppose as some things are universally felt, such as love, hate, sadness etc. many of us can relate on some level. :)Nicole Hurley-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266777090280108555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-87906004073415772792015-05-04T23:34:52.757+10:002015-05-04T23:34:52.757+10:00Hi Nicole.

When my Dad died writing was my outlet in my grief. My imagination of course went to sad scenarios and that's what I wrote and emotions flowed making the scenes very real. Emotion is very important when writing.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-10680607727299518632015-05-04T10:13:28.462+10:002015-05-04T10:13:28.462+10:00Thanks Cassandra.

I've sat here for a few moments trying to think what I put of myself in my books and I would have to say besides my general life lessons it would be a sense of humour. I enjoy witty banter and and clever quips and try to incorporate that into my writing. I know that humour can be a double edged sword when communicating and can be heart-warming and heart-breaking, up-lifting and also devastating.Cassandra Samuelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818025453828445251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-73910138388159722162015-05-04T08:59:33.643+10:002015-05-04T08:59:33.643+10:00Hi, Nicole Hurley-Moore!

But they must-I mean the richness of the settings alone make me believe they've at least been there and most probably lived in those locals. The first book to come to mind is The Garden of Good and Evil...what about that setting!!! The author HAD to have lived there, experienced the culture ...or perhaps he put his experiences of home into the setting and that's why I believe it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229810970636487006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-59270171326596589552015-05-04T08:46:01.664+10:002015-05-04T08:46:01.664+10:00Thanks so much, Malvina. :)Thanks so much, Malvina. :)Nicole Hurley-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266777090280108555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-41518995132617350112015-05-04T07:26:49.695+10:002015-05-04T07:26:49.695+10:00I have been reading a bit of 'Southern America...I have been reading a bit of 'Southern American' literature lately (yes, I will get back to romance soon!), and it seems astonishing how much of their writing is also semi-biographical. The 'writing what you know' scenario certainly brings a ring of authenticity to the writing, and helps to make the reader at ease, comfortable with 'familiar' surroundings as the story unfolds. Great advice. Congratulations on your new release, Nicole, it looks amazing.Malvinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643063300200396369noreply@blogger.com
