Writers Are Different

So you've designed your characters. So you've built your short story. But how to make the readers believe in things you write? Gabriel Garcia Marquez once said that 'a novelist can do anything he wants to so long as he makes people believe it'. As a writer, you are responsible to make something new, alive, and pure, something that will convince the readers to flip through another chapter of your story.

How do you make people believe in something that basically comes from your imagination? Something that utterly fictional. I know, I know it's difficult. I have no solution, all that I can suggest is that you must at least try to believe in what you are writing. Passionately, full-stop! Live high! Laugh and cry as your plot flow. Make readers believe as if they've been sharing some experience with your characters.

This is what makes writers different from other. They are real, but at the same time they are in charge to construct something which might not be real at all, and try to convince people with their writing. Isn't it interesting?
