How To Write Personal Stories Without Being Too Personal
And they can still be amazing
I get it.
You don’t want to reveal too much of yourself in your stories. There’s a certain threshold of privacy you’d like to maintain yet still write that personal narrative.
Well, there is a way without sharing that innermost part of yourself.
How?
By writing from a distance while still keeping that personal element.
What the heck does that mean?
I like to write intense stuff because that’s my personality. I always focus on my emotional investment in the story and innermost thoughts. I try to bring the reader right smack into my world and let them live my story like I did, with all the feelings and emotions I experienced at the time.
That’s just my style, but you can have your own and tone it down.
You can still write a personal narrative with a meaningful message for the reader without divulging personal stuff. Meaning, you can dilute it from your personal perspective by writing from a distance.
