For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

For a creative writer possession of the truth is less import

Summary

This quote suggests that, for a creative writer, conveying genuine and heartfelt emotions is more significant than strict adherence to factual accuracy. It means that the writer's ability to evoke genuine emotions in the readers holds more value than presenting absolute truth or factual information. Instead of focusing solely on objective reality, creative writers prioritize capturing the depth, authenticity, and sincerity of human emotions in their storytelling, allowing readers to connect on an emotional level rather than simply presenting them with cold, hard facts.
