THE AUTHOR IS NOT YOUR CATCHER - DEFENDING PRIVACY IN LITERARY WORLD

 We live in a world saturated with hundreds of news stories and ideas. Naturally, we filter these based on our personal interests, opinions, and relevance to our lives. In the film industry, creators pitch ideas to directors and producers who then select the best concepts to bring to the public, guided by their expertise and budget.

However, I have witnessed a troubling distortion of this process. For years, I have seen individuals treat their personal problems like a game of baseball, trying to "pitch" their life struggles to writers and authors. They expect us to transform their burdens into books or to act as their spokespeople before authorities.

Since publishing my book, Can We Talk and Listen to Shoes, I have faced an increasingly unrealistic demand from the public. What started as requests has escalated into harassment. These individuals operate under the delusion that I am a "catcher" who is obligated to catch whatever they throw.

In this imaginary game, they cross serious lines:

False Narratives: Pretending I am a world leader or a president.

Projected Conflict: Claiming they are "at war" with me.

Unreasonable Expectations: Demanding I solve systemic or personal issues beyond my control.

While I believe that anyone can achieve their dreams through hard work and persistence, this "unpleasant game" is a direct interference with my privacy and personal life. Forcing an author to listen by creating an abusive and hostile environment is not a creative exchange—it is outrageous and unacceptable.
