Writers’ Stories

I’ve watched some movies about writers before. But kept denying that all that happened – had actually affected them.

How wrong was I. Isn’t it obvious that every word they put to a piece of paper is autobiographical? With dragons and mermaids, with rockets and far-far-far away planets. But all about what happened to them.

People write stories, as well as they read ones for different reasons. But no matter you read or you write – you have a common thing with others, a tiny secret key – you want to find someone who is capable to understand your feelings. If you love someone and you lose someone – isn’t it the most natural thing to want that feeling to be shared with someone? Share it with a book when you have no other options. Or no willing.

I rewatched some of moves dedicated to writers today. And have been thinking whole evening about what happened to them and to each other person brave enough to tell their story to the world.

A very thoughtful evening I had. And I hope it made me a bit stronger. Stronger enough to move on. Maybe you’d like to watch them too. Or maybe you have already watched them. And I hope you liked them as I did.
