RE: Violence and Brutality in Fiction: The Ink Well's Stance
Thank you for that testimonial, @deraaa. That is exactly why we have set a standard for stories in The Ink Well. Those stories can trigger many people. I'm not at all sure why there is such a fascination with writing about abuse. I find it depressing too.

3 commentsWriting about Abuse is something I've tried and nearly died of fear. I'm someone who emerses herself into her book. I tried writing in that line to see what the buzz is all about. Apart from giving a potential write-mare and an aching heart, it's absolutely nothing special. Just that you tend to feel it more than when you're writing normal plots.
I can't even do it. It has no appeal for me as a writer. I am too much of a news junkie and I know how much of this stuff goes on in real life. I want escapism in literature. I want to peer inside a human's soul and find out what makes them tick. I want to make words sing, and for readers to feel as though they took a small trip somewhere after reading one of my stories... not make them cringe, squirm, feel nauseous, and wish they had not read my story.
That said... I do enjoy the occasional crime show!
I had not heard the term write-mare! I like that.
