DIVING INTO DEEP FICTION



Blog Post Seven | “Deep Fiction” 

DISCLAIMER:
To embody the reality of the thought process there may be discontinuity within a blog post and strings of incomplete thoughts.


As a I reader, I was always intrigued by an author’s ability to use features from the encounters we experience to construct a space that bridges our experiences with another dimension of living. The more my appreciation grew for fictional stories, the more I found myself diving into the plot and camouflaging myself as a character in the story. This desire to adapt into this alternate universe strengthened the passion I had for fictional writing. Overtime, I noticed that my writing began requiring a magnifying glass in order to understand the specs that are often overlooked by the naked eye. Plunging into the nucleus of one’s mind and exploring a realm that only exist between the shores of a writer’s imagination is the main principle that orbits around “Deep Fiction”. This subdivision of fiction is characterized as ‘deep’ because it may take several orbitals to understand the hidden messages dispersed across the body of work. Using the observation made from our surroundings as a tool to landscape a terrain filled with large bodies of words that reshapes the natural elements found in our daily interactions. Allowing the visuals of our experiences serve as photoreceptors that signals new strings of words which codes images projected in the minds of prospective readers. The essence of diving deep into a space that is expanded by wonders that often fill our minds but fail to satisfy the craving of our curiosity is the driving force for this sub-genre.
