In a way, that's what makes writing so therapeutic. The author gets to write about and control a specific situation. <br /><br />The way that you phrased non-con...I guess that I can see why writers write about it. It would be a way for characters to truly give up their responsibilities about what happens. The only problem I have with it is I've found very few non-cons that actually benefits the character. Hmmm...a story just came in to my head. :-) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446336365610935868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102822863930975198.post-55378314229671885392014-10-15T03:16:33.087-07:002014-10-15T03:16:33.087-07:00I also often wonder how much authors are reflected...I also often wonder how much authors are reflected in their books. Why are authors drawn to certain themes or topics? It's not always as simple as it appears. For instance...noncon. Perhaps it's not about the force, but about the relief of responsibility. If one is forced to engage in an act, one is relieved of the responsibility/guilt/shame of having participated. That's my armchair psychoanalysis.<br /><br />What the author writes can reflect one's own life, one's hopes/longing, or one's fantasies, but it's not always a direct connection. There is meaning beneath the act.Cara Bristolhttp://www.carabristol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102822863930975198.post-74532796099704248032014-10-14T15:24:07.407-07:002014-10-14T15:24:07.407-07:00I think that you have a point too Normandie.

Lol.<br /><br />I think, in some ways, we definitely bring our personalities to our work, but some characters are more like us than others. The same with relationship dynamics. Right now I'm writing a book in which the way the characters interact and what they love/hate about each other is totally similar to how my husband and I interact. But the characters aren't really that similar to us. It's just the archetypes that are similar. <br /><br />Also, I think it's much harder to write characters who are very different from your own personality (unless you know someone like that character), because it's just harder to get into the head of someone super different from you. That's when I like to base them off someone I know, at least as a jumping off point.

I think it's interesting about the touching and you acting like a mom rather than a little in real life but it also makes sense to me. I think our subconscious is incredibly powerful. Maybe we write what we miss? <br /><br />Also, I've written non-con and I'm totally non-violent. Just FYI.

I'm just going to be 21 in a couple of weeks so, I know a lot less than you guys. But, in my group of other 21 year old friends, I turn in to the Mom. Thank gosh I do because I have to tell you, most 21 year old people will do the dumbest things if no one stops them.

Some authors are probably writing pure fantasy, others may be writing from real experience, at least somewhat, and it goes all up and down that scale and no one knows unless an author tells the world specifically, "This is really ME." They don't call it "fiction" for nothing. Heh. The personality you talk about ... I think it CAN come across in fiction (even dark stuff), yes, certainly!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172215466287222823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102822863930975198.post-23115778443754276302014-10-14T07:38:53.436-07:002014-10-14T07:38:53.436-07:00OMG, I would totally be that best friend constantl...OMG, I would totally be that best friend constantly hugging and pawing at you! :)<br />I am such a toucher.
