There's been a little bit of a theme in a couple of my books so far (namely the first in the Cynos Union saga,
Messiah's Shard, and book 3,
The Abominable Moon), of people not being
quite who they say they are, or rather, not being totally honest with how they
feel. In fact, it was a major plot point in both books; to see
how, you'll just have to read them, but suffice to say, the basic point is that everyone, absolutely
everyone, hides who they really are from the world. I keep using that trope, so now it's time to look at
why.
I've mentioned before that a big part of why I write what I write is the fact that it's cathartic. Writing helps me to deal with my own personal demons, and in a way, understand
myself better. Oh, and settle in, because this post will be a long'n (and also, possibly,
maybe, a little bit uncomfortable to read, but keep going to the end, 'cos I
promise it's not all doom and gloom)...
