Mr C was right. A writer can never write fiction unless it is based on something that is non-fiction. JK Rowling and Neil Gaiman churned out fantastic tales, but not without anchoring them on what makes a human human. The greatest stories of our time have some touches of nonfiction in them, primarily because the writer is as vulnerable as any person in this planet. This leaves me wondering. Now that I have decided that I cannot write pure fiction (if it does exist), why do I still hesitate to create nonfiction? Shouldn't it be an easier trek up the mountain?

I run in circles and it makes me dizzy every time. I chase after ideas and dreams only to stop short of a meter's distance from the finish line. Yes, I am afraid of crossing that point. However, it remains my ultimate goal. I have yet to delve deeper in me to discover what holds me back.
