We have said how important the form is, the care of expressiveness. But there is another element that makes writing great: empathy. One of the characteristics that make great writers - be they novelists but also bloggers or journalists - is their empathetic ability. His sensitivity in understanding others and even himself. But where does this talent come from? We say talent because certainly a good natural predisposition and character is necessary but we must say that empathy can be exercised and refined. As? Get out of the comfort zone of words and ideas Meanwhile, leaving one's comfort zone of words which often also represents a comfort zone of ideas.
When we write we don't use all our vocabulary, all the words our brain contains. In 2016 Byrna Rene – editor, American book strategist – wrote Norway Phone Number that most people have a “ comfort zone ” vocabulary of around 20,000 words, with a larger and “passive” database of around 40,000 words. There are better, more creative words, perhaps even more our own, but we must get out of the confines of our habits and mental programming. The more we repeat clichés, the less we are able to observe what surrounds us, to grasp instances and understand people enough to give them a voice in writing. We must look for the nuances of thoughts, of concepts: this allows us to go further, to go deeper.
Don't just say or write something like everyone else has always done. Our message must be simple and clear but this does not mean always writing using the same words, on the contrary, we should push ourselves to look for words - always in simplicity - that express in a more profound way the sensitivity, the particularity of what we want to communicate. At the conference on June 1st, Writing is living, this theme will be addressed by many speakers both from the point of view of "writing that cures" and which makes us aware of ourselves, and in the context, for example, of web writing where we can really find new ways of expression. It will be an intense and formative day where we will be able to deal with many issues that concern writing. We will learn how to write to overcome our limits also with a view to creating an empathetic relationship with our reader
