As long as I keep life events to myself, they are free from being fixed, simplified, misunderstood, and by keeping them private, they remain eternally nuanced, mysterious, and fluid

However, there has been this calling, to utilize this magical power. To write is to love, to sacrifice the nuances and mystery I want to keep to myself, but allowing others to see the world from my back or on top of my shoulder. To write is to create a new world for others to seek refuge in from the other alternative worlds- where madness, hatred, segregation, fear, competition, hecticness, control, anxiety takes over and souls are long lost in the wilderness.

One of the things that makes soaps so compelling is that they are deliberately designed to feel as ‘real’ as possible

Monday’s episode might mention what happened over the weekend, episodes rarely span more than one day and tend not to involve large jumps in time. Soaps will also occasionally insert topical scenes, edited in at the last minute, referencing significant events such as the Olympics or Brexit – another deliberate ploy to maintain that sense of currency and connection to the real world. Everything is designed to make us feel that the events of Albert Square or Emmerdale or Wetherfield are continuing alongside our own lives – we just happen to drop in on them from time to time.
