How to find your voice beyond society gaze especially while writing love making scenes and erotica is something many writers struggle with. Don’t obsess over how readers might react. When you constantly worry about opinions, your intellect shuts down and your mind becomes restrained from creating authentic situations. Therefore, overcome the fear of being judged by your friends and family because fear means you are close to creating the truth. Safe writing rarely moves anyone, including you !
As a writer, you reveal your intrinsic thoughts through your characters but that should never hold you back from exploring your creative space. Your fear of being judged should not silence your creativity. Every scene requires both action and reaction, the writer must create every move by himself. If you get distracted by what others might think or say about a particular scene, you end up holding yourself back from creating powerful, real life scenarios.
But then again, when you write about forbidden love, perspective becomes crucial. You must decide where you stand. Are you for it or against it? Will you challenge society, or will you stand with it? These are valid questions and answering them helps you shape your scenes, deepen character development and determine the ending your story and your protagonist deserves.
Last but not the least, remember that you are not the first writer to explore human desires. Many before you have done so with courage and honesty. Think of writers like Kakkanadan, Kamala Das, Taslima Nasrin, Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel García Márquez to name a few. Their work stands as proof that truth in storytelling transcends fear.
Therefore keep writing without inhibitions. Show the world, the courage to create without the inner conflict of being judged.
