The author reflects on their writing journey, highlighting their early struggles to create compelling characters and connect their acting background to novel writing. Drawing from Stanislavski's acting method, they emphasize the importance of internal character development. The distinction between the collaborative nature of acting and the solitary process of writing is noted, while acknowledging the emotional depth that method acting can bring, which the author seeks to replicate in their fiction. Their goal is to convey authentic experiences and perspectives that resonate with readers.
Initially, I didn't connect the worlds. Acting is action. Writing, words. Acting is necessarily collaborative, novels are not. Fiction tends to be made in private.
The proof remains in the performance and there's no denying it often produces emotionally intense, even revelatory experiences for the audience.
