The work of my research project now relying on a more narrative element, the reason for this is people identify the world with stories and characters it’s a system that is hardwired into the human brain. When you just present facts the presentation is flat, the reason for this is that there is nothing for you to identify with or grab your attention. The drawback of this style tho is that it is harder to know what is fact and what is fiction it’s a lot like creating myth. With a myth there are seeds of truth but you don’t know what is real and what has been embellished. I say this is a drawback but this is something that could also be an advantage because it gets your audience asking “Is that true” and they do some digging them selves to separated fact from myth.
I have to consider what sort of reality I want to write about with this shift and there are few constraints as to what one I should chose. I have the problem of freewill and choice, which is not a bad problem to have when you know what you want. I also have to consider how my audience might see me based on the choice that I make for this reality or how I chose to present subliminal messaging being missused.
This all speaks to my own paranoia more than anything else, the fear to proceed do to the threat of failure. This is something that I’ve overcome, through faith and optimism I’ve realized no matter how far I fall I’ll be alright. That is a message that I would like more people to realize things are only bad if you think there is nothing you can do and have given up.
