It is an often asked question why as a writer I don't write about the political issues or social issues? The answer is clear enough that don't we already have many newspapers and news channels to discuss about that? As a reader I had always picked up those books that offered me some time out, those that make me smile or laugh. Bothering the whole time about the world and people, etc., I started feeling an urge to find something to make me feel light and better. Something that is always missing in our day to day life.
Our lifestyles and behavioral actions have become so calculative and cold that sometimes we start feeling that what's the thing that's missing in our perfect life.
If we love someone, we want to be with him or her, but then what else to do? People have forgotten the ways to lure someone and make the person feel special. If it's the gift or expensive dinner that solves the purpose, then think again. It may do that temporarily, but unfortunately, it's forgotten soon before the next argument. Then due to low tolerance, we admit to ourselves that the person was not worth our efforts.
So, coming back to the topic, myths, legends and fantasies drive you to the other world where nothing is real. It works as a pleasant time out. Readers feel as if living in an altogether different world, an Escapism!
And when your mind is free and flying, you get better ideas.
Therefore, when I held my pen, I knew exactly what kind of genre would I prefer. As my story moved forward, I felt myself living in that dream. It was equal to meditating and relaxing your senses from the out world stress. I found a vent to release and shape my dreams into words and decorate it with my inner most feelings. It has turned out to be the most successful exercise to de stress my mind and make myself escape to a world that I had built exclusively for myself , the one that is perfect and less exhausting.
I'm sure many other writers who write fantasies have felt the same, living in their characters, forming their own situations, and dealing with them in their own perfect way. That is the beauty of myths and fantasies, although they are simple and pleasing, yet they teach you life's biggest lessons of how to deal with the crisis in an innocent way with a simple virtue you have in yourself. All we have to do is live with it and never give up!
So, I feel if I need to send a message, then I would prefer to locate it in a story that makes the message sound easy and every reader could associate it with themselves. Then fantasy could be counted as a good option because we all are the heroes of our own lives and we are the ones who can make the difference to ourselves.
