Truth

The truth that I think is most important, is probably life truth. It is the one that has to do with everyone in all types of writing. Historical fact is important for credibility, but life truth is necessary for any kind of writing that is nonfiction. You have to establish yourself to your readers, and if people aren’t sure what’s true and what’s not, then the reading is not going to have the desired effect that the author is intending. I think consistency coherence is probably the least important of the metaphorical truths, but at the same time that doesn’t mean it isn’t important at all. In writing you need consistency to make sure that everything makes sense and is not all jumbled, otherwise your other truth’s don’t matter.
