Writing from experience

Dear Readers, bloggers and writers,
                                                     Writing from experience doesn't mean that one is 'baring all' to the harsh scrutiny of the public eye. It's the most authentic mode of filling fictional space. Fictional space is meant o be a cloak for speaking the otherwise unspeakable be it as it may. Sometimes relatives and friends try to influence what one is passionately writing. Well, this the most distinguishing feature of an undiscerning and illiterate audience, so to speak. Therefore I encourage every budding writer to write regardless of  the circumstance because if the Press is considered to be above the law, why not the writer? Of course we need to exercise common sense in everything we do but fictional space is usually reserved for the mature adult, the creative child, the troubled teenager, the voiceless soul, the unrequitted in love, and so on and so forth.
Always in love as well as anger (because both are inseparable in its purpose)
