14.06.2025 (2): Tenderness - The Other Half

I think the key to my writing better is tenderness. I don't mean compassion - I think that's too wide a term. I mean being tender towards my characters, keeping in mind that the mundane stuff they do is because they're very much humans. And actually being tender towards that mundanity, and not forcing them to be artsy for the sake of it.

I think that's the basis of my writing. Other than constant questioning, of course, as Flannery O'Connor, not knowing what it is that she wants to write until she's written it and rewritten it.
