Yes. We are just allowing the rest of the world a glimpse into our souls. If one is creative to boot, the writing is that much better. Personally, I don't rely on gore and buckets of blood, or jumpscares. I always try to make my characters feel very real by throwing in personal experiences, memories and tragedy. That way, when something happens to them, you feel it. It feels like it's happening to someone you know. When a story can pull at your emotions, I mean deep-seeded emotions, that's powerful writing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
