--- Quote from: Quantus on May 15, 2012, 07:25:04 PM ---Unless you mean actual documentary style writing, just with an emotional slant. Thats a whole different kind of writing, and not what I generally reach for, I was meaning things in the more traditional story fiction type.
--- End quote ---
See, I think actual documentary style writing is on the same spectrum as what I'm talking of, one simply adds various amounts of emotional significance and stirs. Blogs were on this spectrum. Diaries as well.
Traditional story fiction with a Moment Of Action/Decision reads entirely too teleological to me, in a (and this is going to sound unkind) way that panders to my delusion of individual importance. The only reliable way to make it sound _not_ pandering is if the narrator/protagonist is actually deluded, inaccurate, misled, or otherwise false.
